Author Topic: AOD neutral safety wiring (Read 1257 times)

RapidRabbit · « **on:** May, 26, 2011, 11:59:01 AM »

I am trying to figure out the wiring for the Neutral safety switch wiring.

I am assuming I can just cut the end off the AOD wiring and wire on the connector from the C4 NSS.
Is this correct?

If so does anyone know what colors go together for the neutral safety and reverse lights?

NSS wires are blue/red; backup lights are black/red. I do not know if they retained this color set-up for the 80's/90's for AOD.

Thanks guys.

Mid, does it matter which wires of each color go together.

What do you recommend for splicing the wires together?

Mid loves it when you use wire nuts.

Can you solder and shrink wrap them?

That was my plan, big giant ugly wire nuts.

As long as you keep the NSS wires in the NSS system, it doesn't really matter which line you use to the AOD (hot in or the out line). The same goes with the backup lamps.

And if you use wire nuts, I'll personally come over and give you a thrashing!

Well that's one way to get someone to come help finish this beast.

I have some large yellow and orange wire nuts that came from under the dash of a certain Mustang....I can send them for a small cash exchange since they MUST be classic parts......

Hey!

RapidR - did you figure this out? I too need to convert my FMX NSS and reverse lights harness over for AOD.

RapidRabbit · « **Reply #14 on:** June, 18, 2011, 08:13:48 AM »

Mike

I haven't had time to do the wiring yet.
I am just going to cut off the 2 ends that I need and solder the wires together with some shrink wrap.

And of course some giant wire nuts!!

AzPete · « **Reply #15 on:** June, 18, 2011, 08:39:28 AM »

You know....wire nuts do not require soldering the wires first......

miketyler · « **Reply #16 on:** June, 18, 2011, 08:43:42 AM »

Yes, but he wants to do the job right and anyone knows they should solder the wires before installing wire nuts LOL.

Really???? What about the duct tape, where does that go then?

The duct tape holds the wire nut to the wire after it vibrates loose.

Got it.

Here's my plan. AOD plug on the left. C4 on the right. Lots of wire nuts in the middle. Lol

..........always good to put your nuts in the middle..........

miketyler · « **Reply #21 on:** June, 18, 2011, 01:09:47 PM »

hopefully they are there already.......

I know this is the right board to talk about shorts, but............

I usually keep them in my wife's purse for safe keeping.

But seriously folks, if the OEM shifter gear selections still match up with the AOD (or at least the critical, P, R, and N) couldnt you retain the NSS and reverse light switch in the OEM shifter assembly?
