Do you mean the speedometer cable - the one that has an outer casing and an inner cable that rotates and drives the speedometer in the dash?

Or are you talking about some electrical wire - like the one that goes to the 4WD indicator?

If it's the speedometer cable you are asking about - the other end goes in the back of the speedometer.

If it's an electrical lead, you might have to be more specific.

It is the cable. What is the easiest way of getting it back in there

Some powdered graphite in the cable housing and on the cable itself and shove it back thru. Now if you pulled the whole cable and housing and all back out, there is a hole in the firewall about where a clutch pedal would come thru and the cable goes back in there, in the vacinity of the fuse block.
