I have a 95 Zenki with a redtop motor in it. I didn't do the swap, bought it already swapped. Only thing I can't get to work, besides cruise control, is the reverse lights. Not a single fuse is blown or anything. Is there a connection just for reverse lights? If so, where is it, so I can check to see if it's hooked up? Thanks for the help!

you should check the reverse sensor located on the transmission. trace the circuit there and see if there is any continuity.

Its on the transmission, people think you can remove the speed limiter of an sr by leaving those plugs disconnected. Check transmission sensors, and check the bulbs

Bulbs and fuses are all good. There are a couple of connectors that aren't hooked up though. One loose one just above the rear diff, and another by the transmission. But there's no mates for these connectors, it's just one end and I can't find the other end.

If anybody at all has pictures of the connection to get the lights to work, that'd be awesome!

The sensor for the reverse lights is on the passenger side of the transmission.

The reverse sensor is the furthest one forward, closest to the engine. It should have a little black condom looking thing covering the wiring connections. If nothing is plugged into that then you will not have reverse lights.
