Hurley Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I did a engine and trans swap and went from an auto to manual trans. Now my ignition switch won't turn the starter. It will turn over if I bypass it. Any sugestions would be greatly apreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The old automatic had an interlock switch so you could only start it in PARK or NEUTRAL . You will need to find these two wires and join them. These wires will both be Black/Yellow stripe. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 It's the start signal from the key when in the START position. It goes from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid, but first it detours to the transmission interlock switch. You can only join it there. Go to your starter and follow the solenoid wire to the rear beside the transmission. It's probably taped to the reverse light wiring. Please don't say you didn't bother with reverse lights. :) Quote Link to comment
