Default AOD to T5 swap (wire question)

If you don't have the T5 harning, what wires/what do you need to do to trick it to crank?

for both that ive done:
there is the range sensor that is mounted on the aod that has a big (white?) i think..plug connected to it...if u make sure its in park/neutral, leave it connected, and mount to the t5, it will crank ...but it will crank without the clutch depressed...so remember that..

Alright, what have I not done on the wiring? I don't have the t5 wiring hardness, but that should not matter should it? Or do I have to hook something together because of that?

I believe I don't have something hooked up right on the neutral safety switch. Must have missed that step. It want start, so it has to be the neutral switch?

shouldnt matter no..i kept the stock automatic one...i coulda switched to the t5 cuz the guy gave me it..but then i woulda had to hook up the switch...so i just kept the auto one...do u have that range sensor hooked up underneath?..and are u sure its either in neutral/park...theres a slot...and the part that turns has to line up slot to slot..thats neutral...

I'm lost... do you have a pic?

I did hook the 2 plugs to the pedal but that was it. Did I miss something else?

These are the 2 I hooked up.

ahh..ya see when i did both mine n my buddies we left those unplugged...he actually didnt get the plugs/wires with his anyway...but the neutral/park thing im talkin about is underneat the car ...when u dropped the aod...the shifter cable that came down from the shifter n hooked to the trans...it was connected to a plastic piece with a plugin from the harness to it...once we had the cable unbolted...we removed this plastic module(ranger sensor) and kept it plugged into the harness...this in turn fooled the car into thinking the auto(thats not there anymore but it doesnt know it) was in park/ neutral...thus completely the starter circuit when u went to start it...only thing is you can start it with clutch not depressed because those two switchs u hooked up were not there on ours...so un plug those two u hooked up...and hook up that range sensor with it slot to slot..and it will start

Dang I know you are trying to help me out,but I still can not picture what you are telling me to do...

Are you talking about the 4 wires (on the AOD) and 2 wires (on the t5)?

(I'm a pic person)

I know the problem is the car does not think it's in netural so this is why it will not even turn over.
