Hi I'm Alex. First post, long time lurker. I finally got myself an s13 after 3 years of working crappy jobs. I joined NICO because a friend with an awesome blacktop two-tone coupe said I could get a lot more answers to my technical questions on here. I have a civic dx (no ps or ac from factory) and love it and a saphire blue s13 hatch (roughly 1300 made in that color). I put my s13 together from a black one I owned that was tboned but manual and running. that's where my problem begins....

The blue one was originally auto and I'm using the auto ecu. My problem is that I got rid of the auto transmission harness and now I do not know which wires to jump on the park/neutral plug. From what I've read there are 2 wires that run from the auto transmission harness to the plug. From there, there looks to be about 7 smaller wires that run from the other end of the plug to the fuse box. Which of these wires should I jump? I've searched and searched and can't find anything. Any input is appreciated.

The P/N to jump is under the fuse box in the front passenger side of the engine bay. There are a couple threads on the AT to MT that should have pics.

I've located the switch (big brown plug) but the only way every thread shows how to do it is by cannibalizing the plug from the auto harness which I no longer have.

I've always just took the proper sized wire and made a loop from one side to the other and used electrical tape on it.

I don't think that will work in my situation since the wire wouldn't stay in the plug but maybe I can use a piece of wire on the pins to see which ones will work.

Just put electrical connectors on each end of the wire (with crimps).

Well I guess I can pull all the wires out since theres not going to be a working plug going into it. Just being a p***y about screwing with the harness. I'll let you know how it goes!
