You are right I was refering to the portion of the harness that I made.
The wiring for the switch was already in place on my car. I
made was the section that connects the power going through the lock out
switch and solenoid. I used the 12 gauge because I was worry about losses
in the wiring. If you measure the voltage going to the solenoid it can
range from 12-10V.
The wires for the shifter switch should be very flexible because it
really gets crunch up under the siwtch. I hope I haven't confused the
issues and have answered some of Kevin's questions.
