Shredded belt took out my Camshaft Position Sensor connector, help with wiring 4.6L
Hello all, unfortunately the belt shredded and ripped off the connector to my Camshaft position sensor. I got a new connector, but the wire colors don't match and I'm trying to figure out how to connect the two. I've tried googling it and looking through my Service manual, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where I could find the info?
It's a 1997 F-150 with the 4.6L Windsor
Thank you!
Picture of the damage for anyone interested.

Reason: accidentally said 'crankshaft' instead of 'camshaft' in title and post
Sorry, I'll add that to my original post, it's a 1997 F-150 with the 4.6L Windsor. And it's the Camshaft position sensor, not crankshaft. I updated the post title, but it didn't update the thread name unfortunately.
Your light blue wire is going to carry the 12v so that would go to white. Obviously dark green will be black
Awesome! Thank you very much! If you don't mind me asking, how did you know which terminal on the connector was the 12v from that diagram? Thanks again!

Yes, green = black. Verified insulation color orientation in reference to connector release in place....via live feed (my nephew lol).
Opposite of the release side, that connector should have hard 90* plastic insert accessory attached to it. You'll see slots in the connector opposite of release side. The 90* accessory snaps into slots. The harness is then taped to the accessory. This prevents movement and wire shear from fatigue inside the insulation at the bend.
Yea the harness wiring inside the insulation is very thin, like 24 gauge.
Anyway, that's the only thing your still missing from the original connector....that 90* insert.

Wow, you didn't have to go out of your way like that, thanks a ton! I'll look for that 90* insert. And tell your nephew thanks too!
