can anyone label the plugs on the KA 240sx tranny for me?

I would really like to have a backup light again. I suppose I could rig up a manual switch, but I would like to have it triggered by the tranny.

 

 

thanks :o

Maybe you can tell which plug by the location of the reverse switch? Its the one closest to the front about half way up the right (passenger) side.

 

 

It's the one with the two wires.

is the reverse light just like the speedo wire, alternating current instead of direct? or is it ground and one live? and there's also a gear selector sensor right? in theory I can setup a light to show what gear its in?

You go in reverse? lol

backing out of parking spots without a reverse light is a little iffy for me. I forgot once that I didnt have them when a cop was right near me

Some of the earlier KA24Es had a regular speedo pinion and cable. Later ones had an electronic sensor and just wires to the speedo, and maybe the ECU.

 

 

In this picture, just forward of the shifter with the Blue covering is the neutral switch. Just below it's plug is the white plastic cap over the speedometer drive pinion. Truck KAs used a regular drive with cable to the dash. All car KAs and trucks from '94 on used an electric sensor. Either type will fit in here.

 

The next one forward and slightly down it the over drive (5th) gear switch.

 

The next one forward is the reverse light switch

 

Note: Some trannys had a 'top gear switch' located generally just behind the reverse light switch. What it is or does... ???
