Pin 2 is being driven, and 3 is the receiver.

The rules are simple, don't connect a driver to a driver.  A driver
to a receiver works (sometimes a driver to two receivers).  Receiver
to receiver won't hurt anything but won't accomplish anything
either.

See what's on the other end that it connects to.  A pin or small
paperclip can be used to probe the female connectors but be careful
not to damage (widen) the socket or push them in too far, contacting
the circuit board.  If the probes on the DMM can make contact then
it's best not to insert anything in the sockets.
