on the plug under the center console that formerly plugged into the automatic shifter assembly there will be 2 wires in the middle of a row, I can't remember if its the top or bottom row, one is solid yellow, the other is green/black, extend these wires out through the firewall to the backup light switch on the transmission housing.

You need to run a wire from the reverse switch on the trans to the reverse wire under your console where the auto shfter was iirc

Ok thanks i'll have to take a look when I get home .. and see what I can figure out .. I got stopped at a DUI check point and got a ticket for my reverse lights not working and my gauge lights not working lol the gauge lights have been a a problem since I bought the car .. all the bulbs work the dimmer works and the climate control lights work its crazy
