fla 9 Posted January 27, 2011 reverse lights are a pain - i hope you've not pulled the auto loom out as i just cut into this and wired it up to the reverse switch on top of the gearbox. Have a look on my thread, i just looked at the wiring diagram and connected accordingly - cant quite remember how i did it, but i've got the necessary pics in my thread :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C488ADO 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Cheers where's there any pics on wiring diagrams? Haven't got a Haynes nor a bently.. I've extended the White and yellow wires from the auto box loom to the manual box and connected an original plug on it kept all wire colours original the speed Denise plug had plenty of length so that just plugged straight in, I've just got to wire up the starter and something to so with a black red wire?? Not sure if there is any wiring needed inside the car as that is where I am also getting stuck.. I've looked at several threads on here but there are no pics to back up what is being said ao I'm finding it hard to follow as im not sure what/where I've got to splice into.... Stupid stupid question which way round does the starter fit??? Is the solenoid underneath or does it go on top? Seems to fit both ways but looking at it the holes are thicker at one end compared to the other Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted January 28, 2011 solenoid goes on top. The white & yellow wires go to the black and grey wires behind solenoid 150 on the relay panel. Give me a sec and i'll dig out some more info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
