I converted my car from an automatic to a 5 speed and now the hatch release wont work. I know that one way to do it is to splice it into the parking brake wiring some how, but exactly how do I do this? I need to know exactly what wires need to go where. Thanks.

 

There's a switch attached to the base of the park brake handle that routes a ground to the dash brake light. My hatch won't open from the console unless that ground is present. The switch part number is 12506876

 

The "safety feature" that will only allow the hatch to open is different on a automatic and a stadanrd tranny car. Open in PARK for auto or open when E-Brake is up in a manual.

Here is a diagram showing how each system is wired. You should be able to work it out by looking at his diagram.

 

So I take it I would have to splice the yellow wire from the hatch release relay into the wire to the parking brake switch right?
