Ok, I have been a bit determined not to ask for help on this, I've searched everywhere and no answers.
I've changed a sohc crap of the crap (actualy not bad cars but too boring for me) galant to dohc manual. The dam engine was from a rally car and being NZDM had different connectors on it than any harness I could get, the closest was from a JDM auto so I used/modded it. Car goes great but I can't figure out how to get the reverse lights to work.
All the auto connectors are there. Today I connected a wire to the positive battery terminal, aswell as an electrical testor's positive lead and with the negative lead from the testor tried every pin on every connector that was meant to go to the auto. The ones that didn't have any voltage I tried connecting the positive lead to, then I would take a look and see if the reverse lights would work. None of them worked.
Did I go about finding the right wires all the wrong way? or does the TCU need to be connected and in the car (even though it's now manual) to continue the circut to the back of the car?
I'm not an oaf and I have spent quite some time looking at wiring diagrams but I'm not quite sure.
Any help even good guesses are welcomed.
