Auto to Manual Swap - No Reverse Lights
My 85 was an auto to manual swap already when I bought it. I'm not sure where to start to get the reverse lights to work. Actually, I did start by checking the bulbs and they are fine, so I'm not sure where to go from there...
I did a search, didn't find the answer, but feel free to post a link if I missed this being covered in a previous thread
Thanks,
jeremy

I would check the fuse in the fuse block under the dash. The check to see if you are getting power to the light bulb sockets. My sockets had corroded enough that they weren't working. Then check the back up light switch. I am not exactly sure where it is located, but it is somewhere on the transmission. Good luck.

Just another thought. There is an inhibit switch on the automatic transmission. If you are ising the old wiring harness, perhaps that is what's causing the problem.

Don't plug in the bullet connectors, to late? You just blew your dimmer switch if you plugged them together those are power and ground for the light on the shift indicater for auto trans.
Check the wires going to the senders on the trany, of one broke our came unplugged that could be your problem

It's not hiding anywhere. I did the auto to manual conversion and had to get the harness from another car. It plugs in near the drivers side firewall and runs down the drivers side trans tunnel. I believe it has two clip type connectors that are the same and one bullet connector and they mate with the trans.
