I'm sure someone can point me in the right direction on this one quickly. I don't have a decent electrical diagram available right now, and I have a lighting issue after my recent clutch job.

The guys who did the job appear to have reconnected the indicator switches for the 5 speed incorrectly. I now get reverse lights in 3rd and 4th gears, but not reverse, and I'm getting the U/S idiot light in 5th gear. I'm sure this is just a matter of getting the connections in the right order, but don't know where the issue would be for certain. I've pulled the console and boot to find the two sensors on the top left (looking forward), and the one on the lower right, which are where I'm assuming my problem is, but the connections don't seem to match between the two sides.

Can someone give me a hand with a quicky outline on what needs to be tied where so I'm not freaking people out driving down the road at 40 mph? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I've got the 1-2 and 3-4 switches pegged, but they have red/blue and red/black coming off of them. I'm beginning to think that the guys routed the harnesses under there a little wrong, since distances and locations aren't matching up very well.

What is the switch high on the driver's side on the gear control box with doubled blue/yellow wires on it? I found the harness that has matching wires, and connected them, but there seems to be a lot of slack here in this loop. That's one of the things that is making me think that the harnesses didn't get routed where they were intended.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
Haha! Im not the only one. I did this when I swapped out my tranny. JLEMOND described it in every was possible to me, but i didnt figure it out. Finally I went under the vehicle trying different combos with someone outside looking to see if I have reverse lights back. Worked that way for me.

I've got the reverse lights, and the 3-4 U/S indicator taken care of, but I couldn't get the connectors over to the far side of the tranny for the 1-2 connection. I'll crawl back under it sometime when I have more light, and less freezing to get it all straightened out. Never really paid attention to the U/S anyway. Always told my wife that it stood for "upshift STUPID!" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
