I installed a S10 manual trans tilt g-body steering column custom column. What is everyone doing about reverse lights wiring?

I'm using a Saginaw with the side cover that has the built in switch mount & using a repop harness. What transmission are you using?

Not sure what your setup is. If your transmission doesn't have a provision for the switch, you'll need one on the shifter.

You can use the switch on the transmission then. It's just a matter of extending and routing the wiring from under the dash.

Pull the 2 pin reverse wiring plug that's in the dash harness that usually goes to the column and pin in a new set and run a pair of wires from that plug to the reverse switch thats on the side of the trans.

Brown wire is the 12v fused power with key on, the lime green wire goes to the tail lights. Run both of them wires to the switch on the passenger's side of the T56. If you don't have the connector for it, looks like this..
