Transmission Electrical Component Missing - 4/22/2008 10:33:50 AM    72chevy   Posts: 20 Joined: 4/22/2008 Status: offline I bought a 96 Range Rover 4.0 that had the transmission removed and lost. It sat for two years and I bought it like this. I bought a used transmission from a salvage yard and my mechanic installed it. Everything fell right into place except there is one wire harness with a plug with about 6 connectors coming from the vehicle with nothing to plug into. The mechanic said that it may be a Neutral switch, but the ones I see online don't look like they would plug into my plug. He said that the missing electrical component (whatever it may be)is needed to give the computer information and without it, we can't fire it up. He admits he's not a Rover expert, but There's definitely a component missing. Any ideas what it may be? Any other tips for bringing this thing back to life after having been parked for so long? Thanks! Post #: 1
