Alright, could the reverse ligth switch in the T5 be bad. I have the T5 reverse harness spliced into my original harness using the black w/red stripe wires. The red w/blue stripe are for the Neutral safety switch, which I have hooked up to the T5 and it works fine. I've checked the harness and it has power going to it when the ignition is on. The harness has an orange wire and a black wire. I've swapped both of the wires from my original harness around and still no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Yep, sounds like you need a new switch. I've done the same splice job on my Tremec and it works fine.

use a powered test light and put power to one side of the switch and see if it comes the other side.

then power up the reverse light to make sure they still work.
