Ok well I just finished installing my turbo on my 240sx vert, Im still running the auto ecu on the 5 speed transmission pn the KA and everything is awesome but I'm having a problem with my reverse lights, I did the wiring exactly like hijacker said in one of his swap threads but everytime I put my car into reverse,I pop the reverse light fuse in the cabin, and I get no reverse lights and not functioning top. I checked all my wiring and its all good and it worked fine before the turbo, am I missing something here? anyone got any ideas? Thanks any help would be much appreciated.

You were running the 5 speed swap fine without this issue before the you slapped the turbo on?

Since the two are unrelated, I'd almost be willing to say that perhaps the reverse switch is going bad. Pull the plug on it and jumper the subharness plug to see if you can pop the fuse without the switch being in the circuit. If you can, then you need to start looking for crossed/frayed wires somewhere.

Did you touch the wiring at all when you were putting the turbo on? Aside from installing your upgraded injectors, MAF, and ECU

Got ya Ill try that and see what it does, another thing I forgot to mention is that one of the wires going to my reverse switch on my transmission did fall out of the butt connector when I was driving it, when i noticed that my lights were not working I fixed that but the problem still continued, i dont know if that would cause any future problems or not but meh just finished the turbo I want to drive it now. thanks
