uh, no offense, but that was really hard to follow.. are you saying you can only hit vtec in reverse?


anyway.. the green wire clearly doesnt go anywhere.. so somebody messed up the wiring. the easiest solution is to use a manual, and run new wires to where they are supposed to go. my guess is that one of the wires is coming in to the switch hot, and the other is going out hot. the switch simply allows current to flow when it is depressed, and not otherwise. So all you have to do is see if the hot input still works, and then hook up the output to its destination. if the hot input doesnt work, then find out where it came from and rewire it so that it does work. good luck.

NOW THAT GREEN WIRE GOES TO THE SHIFT CONSOLE AND WHERE THE WIRES THAT WERE CONNECTED TO THE SWITCH SHOULD NOW BE CONNECTED TO TE SINGLE GREEN WIRE !

IIRC, the reverse light wires (YLW & GRN) are routed in one of the plugs beside the passenger's side front shock tower.
