If you're using PWM cable, you'll need to add a fourth wire to use I2C. The number of axes don't matter (for the wiring) and colors don't matter (though it may help to have black wire on 0V and red wire on 5V) - you just need to make sure the wires connect the same pins at each end. That is, the 5V pin on the accelerometer connects to the 5V pin on the digital side car, SDA to SDA, SCL to SCL, and 0V to 0V. Make sure you don't reverse one of the connectors and connect 5V to 0V or vice versa.
