What harness did it come with? It looks like a neutral safety switch jumper. It's the plug on your column near the firewall. Might be an optional thing if you are using a floor shifter w/ and auto column. Just the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

Good luck.

Looks like a pre-made neutral start switch bypass. My switch screwed up earlier this year and I bypassed it. Looked just like that when I finished. What did you orginally buy the part for?

Neutral safety switch jumper is what I was thinking too.

Damn, you guys beat me to it. "Er, that's a pre-made neutral safety switch bypass for automatics, son!" I had to make my own. Wish someone would'a made me one. :P
