    Replacing my rear-left speed sensor soon. Anyone know if it connects under the car or inside the car? if inside is it under the trunk by hybrid battery or do I need to take the rear-seats off? Thanks

    Sorry I meant the wiring harness. I know the other end connects at the hub, but where does the other one connect to? I've read somewhere its actually inside the interior by the wheel well

    I believe I saw it after pulling the paneling out. There is a connector that goes to the front
    of the car. I don't remember exactly where because it's been a few years.

    It appears to be under the rear panel. This was from my car about ten years ago.
