Just making sure... (backup lights)

[Dark_Rider2k3]

I already know how to wire up the clutch pedal switch (which bypasses the neutral safety switch), but I'm still confused on the backup/reverse lights.

From what I've searched, you have to swap backup sensors.. is that right?

This part is really confusing me, and searches only pull up things like:

The reverse light switch should still connect to the factory harness

or

There are two switches on the bottom/front of the tranny (I think, I've never worked with this exact tranny) one is a neutral switch and one is the reverse switch. Make sure you get those connectors.

So pretty much I know the neutral switch (black/blue wire to clutch pedal switch, then to black/red wire), but I just don't know about the reverse/backup lights. All I can make out is that when you do the MTX swap they do not work at first.

So yeah any help is appreciated!

Thanks everyone!

the reverse switch is at the bottom of the transmission on the mtx near the anchor point for the bottom shift lever, it is a 2 wire switch, you will want the black/yellow wire from the atx neutral safety switch harness to mate to 1 side of the switch then put the red/green wire from the neutral safety switch harness to the other side of the switch. The black/yellow should be live when you turn on your key to double check the power.

ahhh okay. So you use the MTX reverse switch, but you splice into it, with the black/yellow wire as the "live" wire when the key is on.

GOT IT!!!!

edit:

okay... sorta go it. I now know about the reverse lights, neutral safety/clutch switch, but there is 1 more i'm confused on.

On the clutch pedal assembly, there are 2 switches:



The top switch (#18) is the one I'll be splicing into for the neutral safety switch.

However, what is #20?

edit2:

okay found some people calling it the "starter interlock" switch. Still searching but i can't find anything on how it wires up. I'm trying to make this as factory as possible haha. I want all my sensors wired up correctly!


edit3:

Okay just confirmed it with Ryan. just to confirm for those who might be curious as well:

#18 is the Clutch switch. This switch is 2 thin wires that are for CRUISE CONTROL. They are NOT the wires you splice into to get a working neutral/clutch safety switch.

#20 is the clutch cut switch A.K.A. "Starter Interlock." This switch is the one you wire up the neutral safety wires to, and is the one that disables the starter when the clutch is not pressed down.
