Wiring up AOd backup light to T-5 harnesses

[crazypete]

Hey all, a great victory as I finally completed my AOD swap and got the exhaust back in. I'm trying to wire the backup lights and ready the previous post a while back for someone swapping in the other direction.

So I have 3 harnesses here:

From AOD: wht/ppl blk/pink wht/red(pink) red/blue

From car: blue/yellow grey/ppl (neutral switch, ignored)

From car: red/blue blk ppl/org white(stripe faded)

I pretty much surmised that the 2 wire connector is for a neutral switch and I just ignored it since I ripped out the switch ages ago.

I tied the white/pink and red/blue wires from the car harness together and this leaves the wht/ppl and the black/pink to hook up to the black and the ppl/org. This doesnt work though. I checked resistence across the wht/ppl and black/pink and it is infinite in all "gears". Do I need to put fluid in the AT and run the engine to give it pressure or should it work "dry"? By the way, if I hook the car harness's blk and ppl/org wires together, the backups come on.
