URGENT HELP GQ auto to manual swap issue

Guys,

I have had my auto in my Safari swapped to a manual, and the guys doing it have 2 issues.

The first is reverse lights don't work. That's no biggie for me but I would like them going so when I want to sell it, I can.

The second issue is BIGGER. They can't remove the key because the Auto had a electrical sensor the knew if the gearbox was in PARK. The manual doesn't have that, and I am going on holidays on 48 hours and would like to be able to remove the key and LOCK THE CAR before then.

ANY IDEAS, I am based in BRISBANE and would like this fixed ASAP. I can't really even collect the car from them until I can lock it.

HELP!

hi man,

to make it very easy , you have to plug the inhibitor switch back into the loom and tape the lever in the park position. then you have to pick the rerverse wires and then attach it to the reverse switch on the manual box.

or you can just bridge the inhibitor wires in the gearbox loom and run the reverse light ones at the same time.

I have had a quick look at it here after getting it back to work and I can plug in the old auto shifter and remove the keys. Therefore I can see that there are two sires (black and blue) that I need to create a loop for and we're done. I have tested it and it's fine.

Thanks for that. I will look at the reverse issue AFTER the holiday...

Excellent help, thanks.

AUTO SAFARI? Gearbox for sale, overhauled, recently had $1300 + spent on it. Reason for selling, needed to get my left leg stronger...
