Tonneau switch doesn't work after swapping auto to manual transmission

As the title say my 92 camaro went from auto trans to a t56 after the swap my Tonneau switch only works when I press the clutch safety switch. My question is has anyone came across this problem and addressed it. or maybe the schematics of the wiring thanks in advance

Re: Tonneau switch doesn't work after swapping auto to manual transmission

There were several safety features in place to prevent you from opening the tonneau while the car is in motion. One was the NSS (neutral safety switch) which you have eliminated with the swap. Another is the parking brake which should have a ground wire (light brown with white stripe) which is below the center console and hooked up at the base of the parking brake. Have you tried pulling up the parking brake?
