Not sure where else on the forum to put this question...

I'm swapping an '84 Buick Regal steering column into my '79 Cutlass. All the plug terminals transfer over except the extra plug in the '84 column photo below. This extra plug is on the gear selector switch located lowest on the column.

The plug that is common to both is the one with the green and blue wire. This turns on the reverse lights when the shifter is put into reverse. The extra plug (with an orange wire with a black stripe and a black wire with a white stripe) appears to be associated with when the shifter is in park.

Can anyone help me identify what the extra plug is for? Thanks!!!



Here's my original. I thought of swapping the switches but they mount differently and that won't work.

Likely for the reverse lights,just use the neutral switch and ignore the extra pair.

I got some good info over here on this being a neutral safety switch...

Blue/green is rev lights, the orange/black is neutral safety.
