no reverse lights/trigger after JHM shifter install

[ngng]

the car goes into reverse, but I don't think the reverse is getting triggered...did I forget something?

Well that isn't a good sign. Curious as I'm about to do this install. Give JHM a call, he is a good guy..

I don't see why the install would be the case as there are no wires involved at all. I've done it twice without an issue.

Define "I don't think reverse is getting triggered".

He thinks that "however the connection is made for the reverse lights to be triggered" is somehow not happening.

(best guess)

[ieatfishburitos]

Total guess, but I believe that doesn't happen at the shifter.. I think there is normally a switch on the tranny.

the lights shouldnt turn on unless you start to move the car backwards.

meaning, apply gas + let out clutch the lights turn on.

I'm generally curious how the lights are triggered to turn on...hmmm, my enginerd gears are turning, and smoking at the same time.
