Thanks to instructions on depinning the connector from dragoontwo in this thread, I put on my reading glasses, miners style headlight, and went under the dashboard again...I "liberated" the A6 pin from the connector (manual switch) and inserted a tinned end of a #18 wire, shrink wrapped outside, connected other end to common of SPDT switch, ran two #18 wires to A4 and A6 on the other sides of switch, I ran the switch over to the area of the test leads near the interior fuse box, and cable tied there. My only use for manual transmission switch to date had been to read codes, so this area seemed appropriate and convient for me (at least).
For some, this may be an alternate method of using the manual button for switching on the power mode, while enabling simple return to normal, and is a reversible mod...
