The green wire is coaxial-shielded cable.  You have to strip back the
shield far enough that it won't short out  the center conductor, then crimp
a terminal to the center wire.  On the '84s the green wire has a boot
covering a female spade connector -- the sensor also has a female connector
with a boot, and there is a double-male connector that mates with each of
the wires and seals up the boots.  One way or another you have to seal that
joint against weather, salt spray etc.
