Reverse lights not working after tranny swap

sd88supra · 04-09-2013, 09:04 PM

I just did a 5 speed tranny conversion on my '88 N/A. How do I re-wire the reverse lights so they work again?

Also, how do I get the O/D light to stop blinking?

While I'm at it, I remember someone had posted a link where it shows how to re-wire the fog lights so they operate independent of the headlights, but I can't seem to find it.

Help appreciated!

Fog light rewire for '88 and earlier

As for the O/D light... Disconnect/remove the auto transmission's computer (ECT).

The reverse lights wire into a sensor on top of the transmission, locate the pigtail and refer to the TEWD for the wiring... rewire as needed... Shouldn't take much.
