Sonicfrog Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 OK, everything is connected in Murphy, the $500 87 T-Wag, formerly dragging a 3 speed auto tranny, now sporting a FT4WD tranny:grin:. The one little problem - the neutral saftey switch. Does that circuit extend to the shifter itself? I thought the switch was connected to the tranny itself but I closed each circuit going to the tranny and no starter activation. Any tips?

Turbone Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 It should be in the shifter, it has nothing to do with the tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I thought it was in the transmission.. cause there isn't anything connected to the gearshift to tell the car what gear it's in..... it may look like a brass plug of sorts...

GeneralDisorder Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 It's in the pedal assembly for the clutch. Clutch in = neutral. But the FT4WD tranny I thought also had one on the side near the reverse switch.... I know the regular D/R doesn't have one in the tranny..... As for getting the starter to turn, it *should* just work. As long as the ECU pin isn't connected it will think it's in neutral anyway. That was how mine worked, both with a manual and an auto ECU..... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakertom Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 The 2 center black wires (which may have a stripe) of the electrical connector by the shifter need to be jumpered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the correct answer. The two black wires, with yellow and white stripes, sit side by side in the middle of the large molex connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
