park/wiring question

Alright, my car was converted from auto to manual. Whoever did the swap just twisted the the park switch wires together. Past couple days, I installed the clutch start switch and wired it up. Well now, the top release switch wont work unless the clutch peddle is pushed in. I "kinda" understand why they had it tied into the park switch.

Well now I need to undo this. I see it is ground controlled, but where is the spot where they tied into this system at so I can undo it and ground it myself.

Re: park/wiring question

When I swapped my vert to a manual trans, the only thing that changed was that I had to have the e-brake on to activate the tonneau

Might want to start there

Nope, it was an auto harness. I searched for the schematic on this site I think. Then just tapped into the ebrake. Its been about a year or so though
