Can anyone give me a quick answer to the wiring? There are 6 connectors, 2 male and 4 female. I just want to know which one is the reverse wires so I can hook the others up. thanks 1978 280Z

well...i figured it out but I ran into new problems. My brake lights won't come on even though it was fine before the swap. Yes, I already check the sensor in front of the brake pedal.

might seem like a stupid queston but did you check your fuses and fusible links? one of those wires might have shorted somethign out, I believe the pedal swithc switches hot so check for voltage there, might want to check with the diagram taht it does in fact swithc hot I know the headlights are switched hot

I plan to go ahead and change the fuses to see that solve anything. Also my ebrake light on my dash stays on. I'm putting a ZX's 5speed.
