A few years back I had a wiring harness wrap around the front driveshaft of my '88 K2500, taking a whole bunch of plugs with it. Unbelievably, the truck still ran fine, until the tranny blew bc it wasn't locking up like it should.
Anyway, the VSS came out with it so the speedo stopped working. It didn't bother me, it was a work truck.
Now I'm getting ready to sell it and I'm trying to fix the little stuff. I have a new VSS pigtail, but I'm having trouble figuring out where the wires used to run. Plus, if what I'm looking at is the old VSS, the colors don't match the Haynes. Haynes says the two wires coming off the VSS should be ppl/wht and Lt grn/blk. I'm seeing a purple and a yellow wire.
Haynes also says that those wires run to the buffer, but I've read that old trucks like my '88 don't have buffers.
Can someone clue me in on how and where the VSS should be connected? Pictures would help immensely.
I'm on mobile, so I'll try to upload pics of the harness and old VSS, but I apologize if the formatting is off.
