Did you ever get what you needed and solve the problem?

I never got the pinout so I used a test light to make sure I wasn't connecting 2 hot wires and went with my best guess for the 2 wires in question. 50% chance of getting it right the first time and I did. One thing of note. The wire keeper that snaps into the frame of the shifter seems to hold the harness in too tight of a position so that the shifting action over time probably work hardens the the wires, causing them to break. I didn't snap mine back in this time. I'll see if that helps. The only wiring diagrams I came up with were not correct for what I actually had.

thanks for the info.

Mine ended up being a rusty shift leaver. A little grease and it was OK. It was worn though and if it happens again then I'll need to replace it.

Fixing the two broken wires has fixed the problem as well as the "key won't go into off and out" position problem. I guess sometimes it's just a simple repair vs throw a new part in there. Thanks for all you folks' ideas because you stimulated me to think "a little more to the left".

that's what this is for imo! Glad you got it!
