swap auto trainy to standard (electrical probleme)

- Sun Jul 25, 2010 7:39 pm #206210 HI i have a 98 civic hatch back i recently swap it for a b18b1 the only probleme i have is that the automatic transmission has to be in park mode to start and it also have to be in park mode to take off the key too. so what a did was to cut all the wirering that was connected to the automatic lever and by-pass the wirering so its like in park mode. now it can start and i can take off the key but when i put it in reverse the reverse light does not come on. What do i need to do?

HELP ME PLEASE!

or you will have to manually bypass it!!!

an revers you will have to wire it up of the reverse switch to the reverse auto circuit in the old shifter wiring inside the car

you can add me on msn if you want it would be easier to communicate

see the big plug (has about 8 wires in it)

Image

There's 2 really fat wires in there that are bigger than the others, in the center on the bottom row of wires. Loop those together. On a manual car, these 2 wires would be on the clutch pedal switch which means that you have to push in the clutch to start the car. On an auto car, they are looped when the car is in P. So by looping those 2 fat wires, you are constantly telling the car the shifter is in P.

Image

Now for the reverse lights to work, There's a 2 wire sensor on the transmission than you will need to run 2 wires to the big plug that used to connect to the auto shifter.

Image

Now look at the harness plug at the 2 wires you just looped to solve the Park issue. The 2 small wires above that are the reverse light on/off. There should be a small space between them. The 2 wires on your tranny go to those 2 wires. Test it and if the lights are on and go off when you put it in reverse, then switch the 2 wires because they are backwards.
