Reverse brake light wiring: 727 to Tremec 5 speed
« on: February 19, 2017 - 04:17:42 PM »
I did have a 727 tranny.  The reverse light hook up to the 727 tranny is a 3 prong (female) . 

I'm now running a Tremec 5 speed manual, which has a two prong hook up (male). 

Could anyone give me a hint at which wires go where on the two prong on the Kiesler?

To make this situation a little more difficult, on the three wire prong, I cant really tell what color the wires are.  They are in- line, and each wire has its on prong (female) is about all I can tell.  The reverse lights did work before the switch to the manual tranny

If I recall correctly, the 727 3 wires were 1) +12v 2) Start Relay Ground 3) Reverse Lights. You would omit the center wire from the 727 harness and it shouldn't matter which of the other two go to the Tremec. It's just a switch internally, one should be switched +12v, the other should go to the reverse lights.
