Default 2004 C5 Corvette wire issue

Hello everyone, I need some help. I'm on the freeway and the person next to me blows out there tire. A chunk of there tire crossed lanes and went under my car. It bounced and hit underneath the car and the wire harness plastic clips broke and the harness fell straight to the ground. As im getting off of the freeway, I can hear the wire harness playing jump rope until BOOM. It's was all quite. Ahh **** was the first thing that came to my mind. Quite mean oh crap. Sure enough the harness is dragging on the cement and looks intact except the middle of it. The harness goes wheel to wheel with 2 wires, light green w/ black and yellow. They are twisted and looks to go to the wheel sensors. In the middle of that same harness is where my problem lies. It has 3 wires coming out of it separate from the 2 wires going to each wheel. But the wire colors are the same. Yellow and light green w/ black, but also has the 3rd wire which the color is purple w/ white. Where do those 3 wires go that got ripped out thx to that tire ? I looked everywhere for a sensor or plug or anything that looks like wire were ripped out. Then thought maybe it went to a sensor and the plug got ripped out and the freeway severed the plug from the wires. Can't find a plug missing the other end. Thought maybe since the vss has the same or similar wire colors maybe it got ripped from the top of the rear end housing. Nope. Looked all around the trani. Nope. Found the plugs for the o2 sensors. Nope not there but found out I'm missing the rear o2 sensors. Anyway, took the passenger side wheel off, took the panels off where the pcm is. Nope. Checked the passenger footwell where the bcm is...nope. checked the EBCM. Nope. Looked freaking everywhere. I can't figure out where they go. I have had my head in the wire schematics for the past week with no avail. Its starting to **** me off. Anybody have a clue and don't say. Just take it in to someone. No **** but i can fix it if I can just find out where it goes. I have already rebuilt this entire car already which is why im so frustrated. Thx everyone. I dont mean to sound ungrateful or grouchy. Just frustrated. I thought pulling the rear end and trani and half my exhaust and drop the tanks just to change out the fuel pump module and dealing with that God forsaken piece of crap cross over tube was a bitch. So far this one is surpassing that. Help thx

Here is the harness that fell when the tire went under my car

Here are the 3 wires i talked about. Light green w/ black, yellow and purple w/ white

I would start by trying to pull codes from the DIC and try to figure out what's working and what's not working that might give you a clue where to start looking

The purple/white is correct for the suspension position sensor but other 2 wire tracers are different…green might be a light blue…as these wires age their colors change a little…check anyway !!
