fiatslug87 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Trans back-up switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yup, never would have gotten that. I got a standard. Did you follow the link and let him know as well? Just out of my own curiosity where is the connection for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The very first plug (round thing with two holes) is for the shift light. It is open in top gear and reverse, closed in the other gears. leaving it off (like when using a transmission that doesn't have a hookup for it) won't do anything besides disabling the shift light.

ftpiercecracker1 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 what was it doing under his hood then? I figured this would go somewhere under the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've been around quite a few AX-4/5s, AX-15s, and BA 10/5s. I've only ever seen the one sensor on them for the reverse lights. Also, both of the Renix manual XJs I had would pop up the shift up light in 5th and reverse... I've never seen anything that would indicate there was a switch on the trans for that.

ParadiseMJ Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Agree. The one I pulled out of my BA10 just worked the rev. lights...when I removed the plug, the shift indicator still worked. Just the one sensor on the trans. Seems to me the shift indicator worked right along with the tach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I got my truck with an AX4, it had two plugs on it, one operated the reverse light, the other one (the one that the right connector goes to) connected to a switch on the 4th gear shift rail. I swapped in an AX5, it had the one plug so I plugged that one in, and I have working reverse lights. It did not have the circular connector, so I could not plug that one in (it has a plug threaded into the hole). My shift light does not come on anymore. If I would feel more energetic I would crawl under my truck and splice the two wires together to see if that makes my shift light work again to prove my theory.

Geonovast Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Do you happen to have any pictures of the AX-4? This is the first I have ever heard of this switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The case is in the scrap aluminum pile, the switch *might* be in a 5 gallon bucket of misc parts. Will try to remember to look tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
