WTH is a "5TH Gear Switch"?

Guest 21 February 2008 09:36:45
 Had this happen on my Nissan, and now on the Mazda. On the 240SX, a friend
said I was driving down the road with my reverse lights on. I found two
switches on the tranny, swapped them and the lights were good. The other
switch was directly opposite the reverse switch, so I figured it my be
switched when the car is in 5th gear.

I noticed some broken wires under the Mazda, again opposite the reverse
switch, and took a look at my Haynes and saw an entry for "5th Gear
Switch". It is in the addendum that covers '88-92 626 FI models. It didn't
say what it did, it just showed the connection and gave a method for
testing it.

According to about the only thing I could find on the Internet pertaining
to a Toyota P/U 5th gear switch, it seems it cuts out the emissions.

Any ideas?

Probably lets the instrument panel know when the car is in the highest
gear so that that infernal upshift light isn't always blinking at you.
At least that's what it was for on VWs.
