    74 Challenger rallye slap stick automatic. Should the gear indicator plate have a light?

    Are you sure the wire is not under the carpet , I think it drops down near the heater box

    It should drop down in the PS kick panel.  Then it runs under the carpet to the console.  It gets taped to the floor with a black cloth tape.

    I believe that wire plugs into the orange molded plug under the dash. 

    Just to add to the confusion, mine runs up the trans tunnel under the carpet then up the firewall to the dash.

    Let me know if you need a pic.

    I haven't looked into it at all yet. I'll do some exploratory surgery this winter. It'll give me something to tinker with for an afternoon.  :working:
