Gearbox my friend, get underneath and have a feel around, I forget where out of the gearbox they come.

The big round plug and the three smaller ones go to the gearbox and the two single wires go to a ballast resistor mounted on the coil.

I have the exact same thing... 2 or 3 plugs and nothing obvious to connect them to.

Might look at the gearbox now... :D

Hi,

The three in my car are for;

4WD indicator,
Reverse indicator
5th gear indicator

According to the Zuk manual

Yellow and red are reverse or backup
Blue/green and orange/black are 4wd
the other one is your 5th gear, i think blue/orange and something?

hope this helps?

From the passenger side of the engine bay look through the trans tunnel to the gearbox. There shoul be some wires coming out the top. I think the first one is reverse. I think the other one is something to do with pollution Ive never worrid about it. The 4wd indicator comes out of the top of the transfer just infront of the stick.

if you just need your reverse lights to work for rego or whatever. just put a switch under you gear stick boot, that operates when you pull the stick into reverse.

I did it on my zook a few years ago, because the wires had broken of at the gearbox.

I just went to dicksmiths and got a small limit switch, screwed it to the tunnel under the boot so that when I pulled reverse, it was switching the switch. the wires just ran straight back up to one of the plugs.

its a quick fix, that works well

Yeh really all you need is the reverse light, all the others on the gearbox are superfluous for pollution control.

the 3 plugs on the gbox?
i no one is the reverse light switch
they reckon one is 5th gear wire and the other is maybe a pollution thing are these needed and wat do the other 2 actually do
