There is a start inhibitor switch in an auto box that is not in a manual gearbox. The wires for this switch in the loom near the gearshifter need terminating to allow the starter to fire. Are you referring to this one? https://i.ibb.co/cvr5nHB/109507230-318535695845097-7122443514135273246-n.png As ...
