Default bought a ek si gauge cluster need some help

i bought the si gauge cluster. i went to install it all but one plug is compatable. i have an auto, and as you know the Si was manual. there is one green plug in back of the si cluster that is really small and green its off to the lower right. my plug is 3 times the size, and fits off to the upper left. i know this plug controls the gear selector indicator light, but what other functions does it do. i hooked all but that to the si cluster and everything seems to work, but i may be missing something. leave it unplugged, or re pin it with a salvaged green Si plug.

thanks

Disregard the extra plug... that plug is for you "gear tree"... the thing that tells you what gear you are in.. Its plug and play everything else will work.
