I have a 97 S14 that was previously auto and owner converted it to manual.

he put in a s13 transmission but did not wire up the reverse light.

anyone have any insight on how to wire it up?

What do you mean by didnt wire it up? You talkin about the reverse sensor thats on the s13 tranny? When I bought my S13 my reverse light didnt work, I check all the wiring going to the light and didnt find anything wrong, I later dropped the tranny to change the clutch and found 3 of the 4 transmission sensors were cut, one of them was the reverse light sensor, I got a new one from the dealer, plugged it in and it started working.

Hope this helps.

Here is a pic of where the sensors are located.

was your car a s13 or s14?

mines is s14 with s13 trans. so do i just tap the negative and positive wires to the reverse light sensor under the engine bay?

Mine is a S13, the way it works is that all 4 sensors on the transmission plug into a lower harness that runs below the engine and along the transmission, I don't know how it is setup on a S14, but I would expect a similar setup.
