Car wont start after B&M ProStick Intalled?
Installed the B&M ProStick that I bought at a swap meet awhile back. Go to start the car and will not start. Im guessing that it is because the computer doesnt realize its not in park or something like that. I "plugged" the wires back into the factory shifter and turned the key and it started right up, unplugged them and it wouldnt start.
So how do I go about by passing the factory start only in park thing? Im guessing this would have been in the instructions but since I bought it at a swap meet (and it was set up for a TH350 so I had to change plates also) the instructions are long gone.

do a search ,i did the same exact thing and i cant remember what wires ya need to connect so it works. i wish i could be more help but its late .but there is at least 3 wires to jum so the starter engages

You will need 12v power to the wire in cavity F of the transmission range selector plug when you want to start the engine. That gives power to operate the Theft Deterrent Relay (TDR), so the starter will engage.

You could use the 12v switched power that comes in on cavity C. The only thing I don't like about this way is that the relay wll stay operated all the time the ignition is on. Normally it is only going to be operated in PARK or NEUTRAL.

It may not hurt, but I just don't like the relay being on all the time when it is only needed during start.
