TH400 reverse lights - HELP
I've recently done a 6l80e to a th400 swap, Im using a jakes level 3 trans and a b&m outlaw shifter.
Cars starts up fine, speedo works but the reverse lights don't come on when the shifter is in the R position. Any help out there?? |
That issue has been beat to death with all of us who have done the 6L80 to TH400 swap. No fix out there that I'm aware of. No reverse lights and no cruise control are the two functions missing with this swap.
|
Can't you just wire the reverse lights separately from the stock harness? All they need is power and a ground. Ground can be through a switch on the shifter. Just a thought...
|
Mine doesn't work either. The guys that done the swap said they could install a switch but I'll do that if it won't pass inspection. Also no cc and speedometer works but not accurate. Stock trans gauge doesn't work either

That's exactly what I had envisioned for your car. Use the reverse-detent microswitch to ground one side of the circuit and power the other side from the fuse panel. I would unhook the stock connector at the reverse light and not even mess with it. That way it shouldn't mess with the canbus at all.
On my car, I haven't wired the neutral-detent microswitch up yet to control the neutral lock out. So, my car will technically try to start in any gear. |
UPDATE: Reverse lights finally work using pancherj's method, pretty straight forward really.
However you'll need a microswitch if you haven't gotten one already |

Nice job guys. I installed the microswitch when I did my swap but never hooked up the reverse lights Any chance you could elaborate on exactly where your wiring is running to/from? Possibly pictures?
