Default Speed Sensor wire is missing?

So my speedometer has been below 0 since i bought my car 2 days ago. I have a 96 ek. I thought it was just the sensor that was bad. When i went to see the sensor, i noticed that there wasnt a wire plugged into it. I checked everywhere! Either im going crazy and theres no wire or there is but i didnt check right. Where is the wire supposed to be coming from, please post pics. This is basically what i see but without the wire coming out of it...



HELPPPP!! PLZ

The ground for that plug ends up at the thermost ground, so work down from there. If it's missing someone must have cut it off.

The speed sensor (VSS) has three wires. The Blk/Yel and Blu/Wht wires from the VSS plug run to connectors C115 and C130, respectively:








As 94EG8 mentioned, the black VSS ground wire runs to the G101 ground located on the thermostat housing:
