Is the switch working for reverse light? As I wrote above, I don't recall gears being shown on the digital display, like you get on other digital dash Hondas, but that switch can be put 180 degrees out. Had a 420 auto in a few weeks back, a mower repair shop had fitted a new pulse coil and found the gears wouldn't work afterwards, they sent it to me, and I got neutral light on with grounding the pale green, twigged straight away that they had fitted the switch 180 degrees out, (did it myself years ago). That really did confuse the auto gearbox computer.

This machine was all original. It was the neutral switch. After I was able to find the harness for the switch and figure out it was behind the stator cover I was able to ground the light green and got neutral light and it started right up. It would only shift into first and then the light would blink because it needed the neutral light to go out when in gear.

Default Update

Yes sir. Been super busy with VBS and kids camp. I ordered the neutral switch and a stator cover gasket, it comes in tomorrow. Hopefully Wed I can get it installed and should be good to go. When I apply earth to the light green wire from the neutral switch the machine fires right up and runs like a top. It will shift into first and drives fine. If I try to shift into any other gear the first gear light just blinks. If I hook up the neutral switch wires it will shift through all the gears and go into neutral but no neutral light so no start. Hope to be riding soon. I will update after I install the switch. Thanks!

Just wanted to close this one with an update. I installed the neutral switch/gear indicator located behind the stator cover and she is all fixed. That is quite a job. Shifts through all the gears and the shift light indicates the selected gear on the dash. Thanks for all the help!
