Wisconsin Rapid,

Well I'm on to my 3rd DSM. I've owned a 97 RS totaled in an accident that I parted to build my current 98 RS both where automatics, but lately my 98 has spun a rod bearing, or I'm 90% sure that's what it is. It still runs solid but ticks loud on start up, and randomly although just no beating on it. The junkyard wanted $400 for an engine. so I picked up a 1996 RS for $1000 that had an electrical fire behind the dash originally with the intention of removing my dash harness and needed parts to place in to it.
Anyways here is my dilemma, I'm curious as to whether the harness from my 1998 Eclipse RS Auto will plug right in and work with the 1996 Eclipse RS Manual, if not I'm curious if someone can walk me through the steps preferably with pictures as to what needs to be done to make it work with everything including the reverse lights although of course if someone has a 2GA harness they know is the same and they are willing to part with here in Wisconsin I would be more than happy to purchase it as then i will have 2 running DSM's. Although 1 will still need an engine rebuild or swap down the road.
