Talkin' Sr or KA manual trans.

Is the neutral switch the same as the reverse/5th gear switch?

I was under the assumption the neutral switch went to ground when in neutral, so ECU would see ground at that terminal when in neutral. I just assumed this for whatever reason.

But my trusty multimeter tells me that ain't true. The switch is normally open, meaning open in neutral and closed in gear.

I can't trust that the switch I have in that spot is correct, it 'could' be a reverse switch for all I know...unless they are all the same?
