Shifting toggle switches.

[Dan2L88]

I'm having trouble with this link that someone posted for me? I found three blue wires only one is solid the other two have a black line in them I found the other two wires perfectly fine. Either I'm just not thinking clearly or there's something in this process that I'm missing, any and all help with this toggle switch process would greatly be appreciated!

The solid blue is the pressure control solenoid and you can ignore it. The blue with black, I'm unsure about. Trace it back to the connector at the top of the transmission. You don't need to know any other wires honestly except the yellow wire and orange wire. Those are your solenoid wires. Run one yellow wire to one pole of a two-pole switch, and run the yellow wire to one pole of a different two-pole switch (toggle switch). Then you just need a 12V source run to each of the remaining poles on the toggle switches. Ideally a switched 12V source so that you don't accidentally keep powering a solenoid when the car is off.

But yeah, super duper simple. Ignore all the other wire colors.

But honestly even though I'm the originator of this (my old username was Unwythe), I would advise against it unless you're only using it to quickly diagnose a possible bad TCU. If you're gonna drive the car with this full time, just do the Kiggly Manumatic Shifter Mod instead. You'll need a few diodes and the ability to solder but it makes the car so much more fun to drive.

What's the kiggly manumatic shifter mod? And yes it's my daily and also only vehicle.

The manumatic uses the shifter position on the trans to power the solenoid wires. I built a harness for a 2g we auto swapped that still is on a manual harness this way.

The auto is just 2 solenoids and depending on which ones are powered when controls the "gear" the transmission is in. We even still have OD on his used off the button but as I recall it is backwards as the that button used a ground signal for the TCU to then know to send that 12v. So it ended having to be done backwards I think. When OD button is on it opened the switch, where now we have 12v to the 1 side so it has to be closed for OD so off is closed circuit and OD on.
