You'll probaly have to short out one of the connectors since auto. trannies have a switch for the park position. By shorting this plug the starting circuit will "think" the vehicle is in park and allow you to start the car. You can also use this switch on your clutch pedal as a lockout. I don't know about the rest of the wires.

Welcome
No hard answers to your questions, but....Welcome to the board, Debra.
If you can't find the answers here, someone over on Pirate is sure to know, just be careful in how you post there, as their a little more hard core.
Regardless, if you're female ( I asume) you're sure to have about 500 replies by noon tomorrow...do a search for sisterchristian...
And hey, it sure is nice to see another couple of Canadians on the board!

I'm actually born & raised in The Netherlands, but moved over here in '91. I didn't even notice that debra is only about 40 mins from here. Didn't look at the location at first.

You should be using the ECM harness that is correct for your engine. So if I understand correctly, then continue to use the same wiring harness that is in the truck now and just leave the auto tranny connectors tied up somewhere. I am not sure if that will trigger a check engine light, but I doubt it. Best way to verify this is to look in the back of a haynes manual and look for the wiring diagram for your truck with both and auto and a 5spd. If there is no difference, then you are set. If there are differences, note them and modify the current harness accordingly. Don't tear out the 88 harness, totally not worth the time and effort.

If your just changing the tranny over you would probably just jump the wires that went to the auto tranny park switch.

I don't know if this applies on your rig but the idiot that owned my Runner before me cut about 5 other wires in addition to the neutral safety switch...in turn, he caused my rig to just not start when its cold out because he had cut the cold start injector wire...people and their wire cutters! :pat:
