Same thing I was asking about in my thread. What shifter are you using? I am using a B&M Pro-Ratchet, which is nice in that it has a mount for two WOT switches, R and P/N location. Guess I will be probing wires today.

I'm using a Hurst Quarter Stick. I didn't notice any switches or place to attach wiring to onto the shifter, but I didn't realy look for it.
Does your power trunk work?
Let me ask you. How did you attach your shifter to the car? The guy that did the work on my car put a 2x4 piece of wood, attached it with 2 long bolts onto the car, then drilled a couple of screws from the shifter onto the wood. I got carried away when I was shifting and pulled to hard, and pulled one of the screws out of the wood, so I will have to get a drill and drill more screws in, or im thinking of getting a piece of metal and drilling it for bolt holes.

I wouldnt use wood to mount it! I will be finishing up my install in about an hour. I may have to throw it in, like a limp mode for installs, just to get me home today as I go to the field tomorrow. By next w/e it will be finne and pics will be up. On my shifter the two WOT's get wired in using the wires that come off the black plastic mount on the stock shifter (pass side of shifter). Anyway, one is for P/N which also allows the hatch release to work, and the other is for Rev. lights.
I have heard of some ppl using bolts with a tubular spacer, Lowes/Home Dept, but will find out in a bit when I go to finish the mounting.

the pro stick comes with the neutral switch and you can buy the microswitch for reverse lights if you want it.
on th stock NSS connector:
orange/black and Black/white are for the hatch release and letting the PCM know the car is in drive/reverse. No place to hook this up on an aftermarket shifter.
purple/white and DARK green are for the neutral safety switch.
brown and LIGHT green are for the reverse lights.
Thats what kp posted a few months ago, just found it on a search, assidently skipped this one the first few times.

Can you please elaborate. I didn't do the install myself, so bare with me fore a second. 
What is the stock switch going to look like? Basically when I removed the Hurst shifter to tighten down the bolts, I saw a bunch of wires that are taped together. I didn't see a switch.
