"Stand-Alone" Harness Question? The single wire, that's orange w/black tracer for the "park-nuetral switch"...If this is not wired to a park-nuetral switch, will the engine still start? I will eventually wire in a switch, but just want to hear it start. 
Thanks, Gar

Second Question... On a stand-alone LS1 computer, I understand where the computer gets it's power...the "all-time hot", 16 gauge orange...and the "battery-keyed source", 10 gauge white...BUT...Where does this computer system get it's ground? Or does'nt it need one? (I am aware of the the engine block to chassis & frame ground, and the battery to block & frame grounds) Thanks again, Gar

Depends how you have the starter wired in, if you went direct to it it should start. But it is easy enough to jump the switch out anyway, just ground the orng/blk trace wire when you go to start the engine, the computer will think its in park or neutral and enable the starter.

Sorry about not replying, didn`t see the second post, been a crazy week, I had both physiology and immunology exams. 
Anyway, randyc is right, pins #1 and 40 on both connectors should be grounded, UNLESS its a 1998 computer, 98`s are different, the grounds are red #72, 76 blue #21, 60.

bill tell me what your book says. What i gather is that the orange/black to shifter makes a circuit w/ black/white to shifter in P and N. I also gather B/W to shifter goes to ground so that Orange/black has continuity to ground in P or N. Is that what your schematics say?

So... Are we still good to go...?Simply ground the orange with black tracer wire, that's supposed to go to the park/nuetral switch? Or, just let it hang & not bother even grounding it? My computer is a 2001. Thanks, Gar
