Coupe GT - unknown dangling wire

[Marco Weibel]

Huw, the color is brown/white and has a female spade connector at the end of the wire.

L-A, I never saw the up-shift light come on... I use the whole rev band thru all gears (not fifth of course:)) couple times a week.


Thank you all for the fast response !
I have the feeling this is nothing major but still .... :)
LOL I hope the fifth gear switch is not on top of the trans if thats what it is !
