I need some help here. I know my reverse lights don't work because they are not connected at the transmission. So I am under the car and have a problem. I have the 4 connectors coming out of the transmission, but no where to plug them into! The harness is completely absent from the area. Now a while back I had a mess of wires in the engine bay and decided to clean up. My engine is pretty bare; no PS, AC, Emissions et cetera + Haltech. Much of my harness coming out by the drivers side had connectors leading to no where, so I removed them. Now I kept all my old wiring because it comes in handy. I suspect some of the wires I removed from the harness were the reverse light connectors. However, I am not positive as I don't know from what part of the harness they come from.
I have this picture showing white connectors. I removed many wires from these as they weren't doing anything. Do any of these white connectors lead to the transmission connectors? if so, where am i plugging back into?

 

those white connectors are not for the reverse lights. the ones for the reverse lights are 4 single wire connectors, 2 red and 2 green i believe.

 

Hmm... I located the wires in my junk pile. I found them via the FSM diagram. The 4 wires are Reg/Green, Black/Yellow, Black, and Black/Light Blue. The wires/connectors were fully intact on both ends. They were plugged into a connector somewhere in the engine bay because I used a tiny pick to pry them out of one some long time ago. I just don't know which one I am plugging back into.
These are the 4 I found, it's definitely them.

 

i dont remember what color they are on the battery harness. 2 are actual plastic connectors, 2 are bullet style connectors.

Good find. However, not my issue. I have that connector off the transmission, just no where to plug them into, it seems those 4 wires were dangling years ago in my engine bay so I removed them. Good thing I saved them. It turns out they DO run out of the white connector in the picture I posted. Since I found the exact color wires, specifically the bullet connectors in my junk pile, I found they match the wires in the white connector. So I verified by looking closely through the wiring diagrams and got everything plugged in. Tested it with the ignition on and voila! Reverse lights work.

Next up, rewiring the horns!

Thanks

 

Since you mentioned the horns:

I once switched the wires going to the horn with the ones for the pressure switch for the A/C. They have similar, one wire connectors. Ran a separate wire for the horns until I found the problem years later working on the A/C system. I knew I was low on refrigerant, and looked for the wires going to the pressure switch to jumper them for a sec. to turn on the compressor. They were going to the horn. Just a thought.
