Transmission went out yesterday need some guidance and the neutral safety switch. i read the plug is under the dash (mines an 06) anyone have the part number the wiring harness? Im still gathering the little things
Normally there may be a connector up under the dash probably above the brake pedal or clutch pedal location, you may not see it but it should be there, what I would do is use a flash light and look for a black bundle looks like black foam tape, on the 10-14s S197s it is wrapped up with a black very sticky tape off another connector. It could be located on the side of a larger connector up there too. It will be very obvious. Check each bundle you see but it should be around that location just follow the other wires in there. (on 2010 and newer it is connector # C215) I am not sure about 05-09s.
Regarding 05-14 S197s PCM etc. The CPP and cruise control deactivation harness (neutral safety switch if you will) needs to be used if you want to make use of the factory setup, however you will still need your PCM either tuned, or reflashed by ford. According to my sources you cannot reuse the MT PCM if you swap a T5 or MT82 or whatever to an AT transmission you will need the PCM from the AT. However if you are going from AT to MT you can re-use the AT PCM. You will need to have Ford or someone with IDS to re-program the PCM as a MT unit (initialize it as a manual transmission vehicle so it knows what controls to use) and flash it with the correct MT strategy code, as built data, your vehicle info (VIN# and mileage) and program two car keys for PATS(so the car will start). You can also just get a MT PCM and have them just do the flashing of the correct MT strategy code(if needed but should not be), as built data, your vehicle info (VIN# and mileage) and program two car keys for PATS.
If you do not use the CPP/Cruise disable jumper, the MT wire harness, and a MT PCM or reprogrammed PCM initialized as a MT the PCM though module communications network, other components will not know how to use the reverse lights or cruise control or neutral lockout features. For example my car I swapped out my 6R80 auto for the MT82. I had the PCM retuned so the car runs but the PCM is still looking for a signal from pin 39 on the upper plug of the PCM harness to tell the body control module to complete the circuit to turn on my reverse lights. However since I am running the MT harness now there is nothing on pin 39 the reverse switch is actually now on pin #17 which the PCM does not know about and is not programmed to do anything with it. This is because it is still initialized as an AT transmission vehicle. When you reinitialize it and tell it that it is a MT it will properly function as it should as far as to look for a signal on pin 17 now and then will communicate with the rest of the network through the can bus and tell the BCM that it can turn the light on with the switch is closed. Same deal with the cruise control as it does not know how to communication with the transmission now for things like speed etc since the auto was removed. It also needs to know there is a clutch pedal switch now too.
Usually the easiest thing to do it replace the PCM if you do not want to wire up fixes. A good tuner may be able to get everything going but replacing or re-configuring the AT pcm is the way to go.
