Default TCS 1226 fix

I bought a new speed sensor harness, but it only has the one connector on the end. The sensor has two wires (yellow & blue) and do they just get wired in or is there a separate connector that needs to be purchased. The orginial stock part has plugs on both ends, but this new part does not.

The vehicle speed sensor, and wheel speed sensors, are different. What you bought looks like it is for VSS. WSS cable has a connector on each end.

Do you know of the part number for the WSS? I went to the dealer today and looked up the part on their comp and this is what it showed and the correct part number.

I looked at a diagram and it appeared to be the correct part.

Hold on I did find this.
Part number 12163714 was superseded by part number 10332527 (gmpartshouse)

Usually a repair harness comes with heat shrink butt connectors and gets wired in.
