This thread basically has anything and everything you need, except the wiring which needs to be displayed easier

Your right i still havent wired up my reverse lights i dont really understand how to. The threads covering it all have different colored wires then mine. Mine are all solid colors. I thought it was the green and black wires that you have to connect but it turns out nothing worked so idk. I'm kinda stuck. anyone want to help?

[BMAR240SX]

Yea that needs to get covered real good, the last thing i want is to get a ticket for no reverse lights, i might take it to my mechanic and show him the pic's and let him take a shot but i don't want to pay 40 buck's for somthing so cheap

[spooled240]

finally done?! I couldn't help much at all since I know nothing of the swap but I'm glad you got it done

[okinawa drift]

i've been really lazy to install the boot, but is an auto center console and manual center console the same?

when i try and put on the trim with the boot attached to it, it won't go on..

They are same. Do you have pics? I'm having hard time visualing what you are trying to do.

[BMAR240SX]

In the console if you flip it over you will see that there is a set of screws for the second trim that was where the auto trim went, if you take that off you will have the space of a manual trim, but i never bothered to check if i can screw it on. To me it didn't look like it would work so i just left it

You are talking about RADIO TRIM. A retangular piece needs to be removed from radio trim and leather boot will go into that place.

Remove 96960 and attach 96935. That's the only difference between auto and manual transmission center consoles/radio trims.

ohh ok i got it, i dunno what i was doing wrong before but it slid right in this time, probably put it on upside down last time..

thanks guys!

[B-Boy DuB-L]

Okinawa did you wire your reverse lights. I cant seem to figure mine out. PLus its really hard to see if they work wen ur the only one around. You have to set up a mirror and wut not. any help would be appreciated

[okinawa drift]

yeah, just run the green and black wire from the plug to your reverse sensor..

and to see if they work just turn the ignition on, not the car, and put the car in reverse, and they should come on

[B-Boy DuB-L]

the funny thing was i did that and no lights came on. Is that an indication that the sensor might be ****

[okinawa drift]

hmm do you have any pics of how you connected the wires? maybe you connected the wrong wires or something

[darens13]

i cant picture where the first pic is but the other two are on deerhorn road for sure, i drive it coming home from work sometimes. wayyy fun at night when there are no deer or crittersto run over!

[okinawa drift]

damn daren, yeah its deerhorn, its reallly nice during the day, and ****ing scary at night.. hahah i drove there one night with my friend.. almost **** my pants.. i was so afraid.. hahah

[darens13]

Here you go.

This is where the plug is located at. If you don't see these plugs right next to fuse/relay box, it has to be somewhere around that area.

You see green and black wires? They go to reverse light switch. Green and black are not original colors, so don't bother.

Original colors are Green/Blue & Green/White. Green/Blue is constant boltage as you can see.

Here's the overall view. First, locate 2nd plug from the top that has 8 wires coming out. You can go from there. If still doesn't work, it's something else.

[BMAR240SX]

Thanks a lot man, hopefully i will get mine wired up soon, now if you can just pull pic's of the one to start the car the diagram is great actually pic's will finish it off.

This is one hell of a thread all the info needs to be copy and pasted into one big page

[B-Boy DuB-L]

Yea thanks 94. I tried it again today and it works so Thank you. I really dont know why it didnt work last time i tried. Wierd????

[94_240sx]

No problem. Now, someone tell us how to make cruise control work. Mine doesn't work. Anyone?

[BMAR240SX]

That is yet to be done

[94_240sx]
