2G Where is the inhibitor switch to jump the neutral safety switch...Please!!!

[Jtromb522]

Hello friends. I am just about done with my auto to manual conversion on my 2G GSX!

The road has been very simple and straight forward except for this second and final bump in the road, to jump the starter inhibitor switch. Does anyone have any direction (better yet....PICTURES haha) as to what pins I am to jump to make my car think it is in neutral or park so that my starter circuit will activate? Any help is greatly appreciated!!! I have seen some take the shortcut of wiring the starter directly to the ignition and going this route but I want to jump the inhibitor switch instead of cutting wires and stuff. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

P.S. The first bump was having one of my rear differential subframe bushings go bad and having to replace it with the help of my DSM friends Zeppelin, Mikeemike, Sleeper142 and Rinker777.

Several solutions were made available. I am going with Energy Suspension part number 30.6010, 2" O.D. inserts. I will let you know how I make out.

probably the PRNDL wire.. I really dont have pictures from a dsm, but usually its one of the wires coming from the wiring on the tranny


we did this on a 90 240sx we converted to 5spd from auto...

Thanks for your quick response!!! I definitely have the right harness, it is the harness that you mentioned. I am just unsure of which wires to jump. Do you happen to know the name of them? Is it the park and a ground wire or something along those lines? Thanks!

Oh!!! How did you get your reverse brake lights to work? I am figuring I am going to have to jump the reverse light switch to the reverse wire on the PRNDL harness mentioned above.

Let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks!

I also need to know where this wire is located, I have searched every harness in the engine bay and cannot find the wires I have been told to look for and researched. Sipposedly two black wires with yellow stripes need jumpered for neutral safety, a black w red stripe and silver dash for brakes and light blue for reverse.

Any pics or help from anyone would be greatly appreciated, have been working on this for several hours just looking and trying wires with no luck.

Thanks for any help guys,
Jarod

Hello, how's it going? So I am just about done my auto to manual transmission swap and I need some help with the wiring:

Vehicle: 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Before I start making any jumps to the inhibitor switch to get the car starting and the reverse lights working, I wanted to double check because I have read soo many different stories on the net. So when you look at the inhibitor switch on my 1997 Eclipse GSX with the pin-holes facing you, you see the following:


_____
| Clip |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.[Blk/Yel Stripe] 2.[Blu/Red Stripe] 3.[Red/Blu Stripe] 4.[Empty]

5.[Blk/Red Stripe] 6.[Solid Blk] 7.[Big Blk/Whi Stripe] 8.[Big Red/Blu Stripe]

9.[Whi/Blk Stripe] 10.[Yel/Blk Stripe] 11.[Solid Yel] 12.[Yel /Red Stripe]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Note: Each and every single one of these wires have the silver dashes on them
*Also: Wires 7.[Big Blk/Whi Stripe] and 8.[Big Red/Blu Stripe] are a larger gauge wire
than the rest

#1: So what wires do I need to connect to get the car started? Also, I want to remove the clutch pedal switch to allow the car to start without the clutch depressed? Will I need to do additional wiring for this?

#2: What wires do I need to connect from the reverse light switch to the inhibitor to get the reverse lights working?

I have read information on 1G's but the inhibitor switch is much different on the 2G so that really hasn't helped me. I have also seen posts from other members but one person says to jump one thing and the next person says something different. Does anyone have this done and working?

Any pictures or wiring diagrams will be extremely helpful! Thanks!!!

I am having te same exact problem

I am doing this project as well and I can tell you this:

On the big plug with 12 pins you want to solder:

-Small solid black wire

-TO-

-Small Black w/ red stripe

That will get your inhibitor taken care of.

To be honest I would like to see what other people have done for the back-up light as well.

Hope this helps!

In the 95 I am working on it was the two most left middle wires looking in at the pins. Of course this car was an A/T FWD and is now Manual AWD...

Ok so before I start, I do not want to hear the “use the search” everyone and their brother feels they have to say. I’m here because I’ve “used the search”.

I also do not want to see any links to the 420a swap that everyone seems to want to refer too. It’s not the correct swap. I’m frustrated with how Much BS is out there and how nobody can seem to give a real answer, yet everyone has done this swap and it’s worked for them.

I’ll get right to the point. I have a 97 Eclipse GSX. It was originally an auto and I have swapped everything over to a manual from the same year. I went through every thread I could find and it seems everyone has a different approach to what works. Yet my car won’t start. I have trying jumping the NSS pins to no avail. Please someone with some sense, show me some actual pics of what to connect. I don’t want to see an electrical diagram of some switch that I can’t identify. I’m not an electrician.

Again, this is a 1997 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GSX. It’s the all wheel drive model with the 4g63t. Not a 420a auto. Sorry in advance if I sound brash. I’m at wits end with people saying to splice this and ground this.

These forums are supposed to help people, not belittle them by saying “search and you’ll get your answer”.
