well to start off, i did a transmission swap. well i ended up getting an S4 tranny for cheap. but i have an S5. we didn't realize it was s4 til after i bought it. is the S5 transmission wiring different from the S4? well i had to change out tail pieces to get the transmission in, but now the starter doesn't click.

i'm betting i miswired it, and i don't have any wiring diagrams, and don't know if the transmission being S4 has anything to do with it.

just wondering if anyone has any Wiring Diagrams for the transmission, and could tell me what the 2 green wires coming out of the neutral switch would hook up to. i have 2 blue wires coming from a switch that i think goes to the ECU, but i have no clue, my Haynes manual and FSM haven't really given me any help on this. i can try to get a pic on tomorrow if you guys have no clue what i am talking about.

thank you

 

is it 5spd or auto????the main wires u need to hook up is the main power and the little female plug connector.the other wires should be the reverse lights...

 

its a 5 speed.

and i forgot to add that the starter doesn't click, or try to turn over. and roll starting doesn't work either. =[

 

the s5 starter is small than the s4,so u might need the s4 one...

 

Don't do things that you are not sure of...

 

Bolted up the same.

i just need help finding a wiring guide. i can take it from there

We wouldn't get anywhere in the world if we didn't.. just taking that step out there to increase my knowledge

 

Did you make sure to reconnect the large ground that bolts up to the bellhousing of the trans? When I swapped out a bad trans I forgot it and the started solenoid wouldnt even click.

 

i can go re-check, cause when i turn the key, all i hear is the fuel pump going, and no attempt from the starter.

 

What i'm trying to look for is the wiring setup for the Neutral Switch, the 5th/Reverse Switch and the Starter. i [Finally] found a S5 Wiring Diagram book i'm going through at the moment http://www.whoistouching.us/rx7/s5wiring/ after loads of searching thru threads from the Archives.

 

AHH still can't get the starter to click!
i can tell something isn't wired right, but i need to know what.

Can anyone post up a picture underneath their car showing the wiring from the starter and the tranny? i want my car to finally run, i've felt like a big chunk of me is missing

 

Did you double check that ground wire, I did the same thing spike did one time.

 

i can post up pictures of what my wiring looks like tomorrow

 

lol i missed 1 wire... and it screwed everything up. its finally running again =D

 

That always happens...
