HFoM,
Thanks for the info and tips - yes the pink wire is too short, so I will need to extend it. I do have the parking brake bypass (green wire) left from the portion I cut so I will follow your suggestion. Do you know offhand if the color and location of the VSS wire changes for same car model? I managed to find the color and location for the 7th generation Civic (mine is 8th gen.) from another forum, and can use it if the location/color are the same. Thanks again.
