    The first festiva i ever drove was an 89 4 speed with a shift light

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        I appreciate the efforts to help me out here. This isn't a big deal, but I figured that since I have the shift-light capability on the new cluster, it would be a nice novelty to have it functional.

          Looking through some of the other schematics I found that on 94 and later had a upshift light with the manual trans. At least this is what the book is displaying. In this case it is a pink wire that goes from the light to the "5th gear switch" (as it is labeled in the book). From there the wire is blue and white and goes to the powertrain control module. Maybe someone can tell us if their 94 has an upshift light.

            The light is also wired in with the malfuntion light. I am assuming that that is the check engine light. In which case it is wired into a 15 amp fuse which can be found in the dash fuse panel labeled meter. This is for the 94-95 engine control system

              The Haynes manual 94 and up stuff is talking about Aspire stuff.

                The biggest hurdle would likely be the extra sensor on the 4 speed case. Without it, the light *should* stay on continuously without it in 5th gear. It isn't drilled and tapped for it in the other Festiva cases that I have seen.
                I added a couple of pictures. The first is a 4 speed with the two holes for the shift unit, and the other, IIRC is the backup light switch.

                  Thanks, That cleared up things for me at least. I dont know much about the aspire since I have a festiva. Who knows maybe one day I will get an aspire.
