hello Honda Tech.
Maybe ya'll can help me out.
I picked up a 94' Coupe with a 5spd B18B1 swap.
Reverse lights don't work.
I'm not new to wrenching, but am a Honda n00b. Reverse light switch should be atop the trans, correct? There's 2 identical plugs by the top trans sensor, one's plugged into it, the other not. I swapped them around and still no apples.
So before I go diving into checking wires, I wanted to see what ya'll may know.

I used search. So keep that to yourself. Kthnkx?

Great site, nonetheless. TONS of info.

It's on the front of the transmission. check fuse, bulbs, switch. The motor is 5spd but is the car originally a 5 spd? I know some people do auto to manual and never do the wiring part of the conversion.

Take the switch out and check for continuity when switch is pressed.

Inside the car, take the center console off and next to the shifter there's a 16 pin plug or so, there's a solid yellow and green w blk tracer. What happens when you jump them together? Lights should be on with key in on position.

Fuse's are good, bulbs new.
I can't tell ya if it's originally a 5m/t or not. There's quite a few unplugged connectors. lol
Thanks for the leads, I'll check it all out tomorrow after work.

Can anybody point me in the direction of a wiring diagram for the reverse lights circuit.
I have a short to ground and need to trace it back to repair it, but need to see if it junctions through the ecu or bcm.

These diagrams are for the stock 92 Civic, but your car should be similar if not identical:

Awesome!
Thank you.
I'll get on it monday morning when I get back to my shop.
