Monster 696 speedo sensor connector - what do the 3 wires do

Hello Eleanor. Good to hear you're still around and putting more miles on your Monster(s).

Regardless of what the cables do, they still have to conduct electricity properly.
So if you know where both ends are and what colours they are, the first step is to test each one for continuity from top to bottom and make sure there is little or no resistance.
Also check that they don't connect to either of the other 2 cables.
If there is a problem with one or more, then the easy solution might be to just run a new cable beside the old.
Connectors can be very deceptive, they can look okay but not conduct anything. I had this with the plugs on the top of my injectors, looked fine but nil connecto! Hence why you need to test the continuity from speedo/ECU to the last connector before the sensor.
