Reverse plug

X2. It's your reverse light switch. Im guessing it's an auto car swapped to 5 speed right? So you need to get that hooked up so your reverse lights work. Not having that connected would fail the safety inspection up here in Canada. Not sure what the REF is like down in the states.

DANG so i probly wont pass here wonder if i tuck it away so you cant tell its not plugged in does anybody have a DIY for hooking up the reverse sensor or should i just take it to a shop o and 97twodoor yes it was a automatic before

What wiring harness are you using for your engine? When I did my swap, the 97 EX harness had the connector for this sensor. I'd imagine any harness regardless of Auto or Manual would have this.

mm i dont know for a fact i let a shop do it and he was going to fix the reverse lights and ended up moving to las vegas so now ill probly have to take it to another shop and have them figeur it out cuz i would think that the reverse sensor would be thier but it aint

nub

With the auto trans the reverse switch isn't on the trans it's under the center console and was attached to the gear selector. Check the FAQ's for auto to manual swap for the details. You basically run two wires from that plug into the cabin and connect to the two wires under the console.

oooo gotcha thanx for the info ill probly take it to a shop then it should be no problem for them

97twodoor

Yep, this is what you need to do.

i was reading this thread and this sounds alot harder then running 2 wires

On the shifter for the auto transmission, you will see a 14-wire plug. Cut the plug from the auto shifter assembly, and leave about 5 inches of wire. Looking at the plug, the positions are (left to right) (top row) 14,13,12,11,10,9,8 and (bottom row) 7,6,5,4,3,2,1.


Starter (top) Sensor:




There are two heavy gauge wires (position #11 and position #12). Connect these two wires to the top sensor (clutch interlock switch) on the clutch pedal assembly. This will only allow the car to start when the clutch pedal is engaged. In other words, every time you press the clutch you will close the circuit.


Cruise Control (bottom) Sensor:




The bottom switch is your cruise control disable switch. Run two wires from the switch: connect one to the position #7 (black) and the other to #13 (pink). Every time you press the clutch pedal, the cruise control will disable. Removing the Key: On the 14-wire plug, there is a black wire you will need to connect to a green wire with a white stripe. This puts the car in "park" so you can take the key out at any time. Reverse Lights: Look at the plug you used on the engine wiring harness to hook up to your reverse sensor on the manual transmission. Run two wires from this switch to the yellow wire and a green wire with black stripe (positions 4 and 5) at the big plug that you cut off from the auto shifter. Now your reverse lights should work. I have heard that if you replace your automatic ECU with a manual one, your reverse lights will work without extra wiring. This has yet to be proven or not (I am still using the auto ECU until next week).

Yep that thread is right on. You don't have to do the cruise control part though, unless you have cruise.

ATL dirty birds FTW

oh btw the sensor you have pictured is for the reverse switch, it doesnt effect driveability but to pass ref it needs to be plugged in. good luck with ref'ing just passed this pass MONDAY, yessir!!!
