While looking under my Explorer today at the O2 sensors, I saw something that, to me, didn't look quite right. At the speed sensor, there was one electrical unit going to the one side, but the other was just a white hole. Basically, the whole thing was coated in black, but this hole is white. It seemed to me like something should be plugged into it. Any pictures of what it should look like installed? I've been having some problems, and the symptoms of a bad (or unplugged) speed sensor are most of the symptoms I've been having.

The bottom hole is the one that I think should have something plugged into it.
 






That almost looks like a speedometer cable. Check on your transmission or transfer case if you have 4x4.
