The connector out front is for the vacuum assist motor. I got a service brake in the message center until I jumpered it out. The switch on the brake pedal is for your brake lights I assume. It should be plugged up and suspect that is why you cant start in park. Do your brake lights work?

The connector on the pedal is for your brake lights an if its not connected you wont be able to start in park. I learned that the hard way myself.

thanks..

the connector for the pedal wont even fit the way it is right now...after reading some more it looks like im gonna have to make the 10mm plate because the rod is to long..just my damn luck!!!
i'll get it in 2 weeks when i come in from work.
