AUTO to MANUAL reverse lights
AUTO to MANUAL reverse lights
I have searched here, and the other forum, to no avail! I have a 1971 510, that I did an AUTO to MANUAL swap. I figured out the jumper wire for the starter bypass, but I can not locate the two RB (red w/ black stripe) wires for the reverse lights / backup lights. There were two more wires in that sub-harness to that plug (to the inhibitor switch assy), but they were B (black) and BY (black w/ yellow), and I'm not getting anything out of them. What am I missing here?? Thanks in advance!

They are in the loom that goes over by the wiper motor.

There are no RB wires in that wiring harness. There were 4 wires in the sub-harness, that came off of that wiper motor harness - 2 of them I jumped to bypass the starter inhibitor switch, and it runs great. I was just looking at it again, and realized that these 2 wires were also B and BY, BUT they had a small red "band" around each of them, and the jumping of these 2 wires allowed the car to start & run.
I figured that the other 2 wires, also B and the BY, were for the rev lights, cuz the rev light sw is supposed to be in the inhibitor sw down there at the auto trans, BUT they are not RB, and I can't get them to power anything up.
I hate electrical gremlins!

Re: AUTO to MANUAL reverse lights
Figured it out with help from Laecaon on Ratsun! Originally, to get the car to start & run, I had 1 BY and 1 B jumped (but again, no rev lights). When I went to the #2 relay (lower & forward of the other relay), and simply hooked up the 2 RB wires to the 2 RB wires on the rev switch at the trans, I got rev lights! HOWEVER, the car would no longer crank over. I then changed the jumper to BY and BY, and it starts & runs!
Bottom line, the AUTO to MANUAL swap requires the 2 BY wires in the sub-harness (at the inhibitor switch) to be jumped, and the 2 B wires left blank. Then, for rev lights, bypass the #2 relay, take the 2 RB wires at the relay, and connect directly to the 2 RB wires at the rev switch. I assume at that point, that the relay is no longer used, and can be deleted.
