connect your battery and brush the wires you suspect might be hot against your shifter...

if it sparks it's hot.

NO NO NO!! That's not how you test for voltage. If you absolutely can't find a voltmeter, borrow one. If you can't find one to borrow, get the wiring diagram. If you can't do that, make a tester out of a 12 volt lamp and a couple of wires.
