#9061, "RE: AT/MT swap almost done, except for this little switch..." In response to In response to 2
Well, so far I've no reverse lights with that hookup. No voltage to the actual lamp itself. Bulbs look fine. I have 12v in the red wire at the splice. Also 12v at the 3rd wire from the old transaxle switch I did not hookup. It shows constant 12v even when not in reverse. I guess I'll try the 3rd wire to the red and splice to see what happens. If I have circuit integrity, the reverse lights should light constant, with or without reverse. But that's for later, after I figure out why the car will only start when the clutch switch is NOT engaged. I've read about some starter relays being ground supply circuits, while others hot supply. I'm guessing that would mean one kind of relay is normally open, and the other is normally closed, until power or ground is supplied. I'm frankly just unsure how to test to see what kind of relay I have and if a reroute of the wire to another point in the relay might solve it. What do you think?
