Default Tremec TKO reverse light switch

I finally found time to connect the reverse terminals from the TKO to the Pink & Green wires connector to complete the reverse light circuit.

Confirmed there is power going to the Pink and Green wires by shorting the two and seeing my reverse lights turn on.

From what I can determine, when the TKO is not in reverse the ohms between the contacts on TKO is zero. When put into reverse becomes open circuit. The reverse light switch function of the TKO is reversed?

Just to confirm, I connect the wires from the Pink & Green and TKO and reverse lights went off when in reverse and ON when in neutral/1-5 gear.

Any suggestion or experience regarding this issue? I really don't want to put some type of relay to reverse the circuit.

Thanks in advance for any replies and Happy Easter.

Irwin

Figured it out, the shop that installed the cable mistakenly connected the reverse wire with the neutral safety switch.
