[quote=why would the transmission position not be illuminated in the gauge panel, any thoughts on that?[/quote]
It has to be wired with the neutral safety switch to illuminate correctly.
Also, did you wire up the oil pressure switch correctly from the old vortec? It has fuel shut off along with oil pressure, if it doesn't see enough oil pressure it cuts the fuel off. The LSX oil pressure switch just help satisfy the pcm.
the Gauge indicator is powered through the neutral safety switch.
It tells you if your in P R N D 3 2 1
Make sure thats plugged in, for some reason on mine N D 2 1 don't light up.
Good luck..
here is a pic of the switch, it bolts to the tranny.

I didn't hook the 5.3 oil pressure up because I was under the impression it wasn't a must. I just hooked the factory oil pressure up into its place.
Which wire did you hook the neutral/park wire to on the neutral safety switch?
on my swap i took the stock oil pressure sensor off the 1998 4.3 bought the 16mm adapter from Street and performance and removed the 5.3 oil pressure sensor and put the 4.3 one in. that way it reads correctly on your dash. i also used the 4.3 plug. and my pressure seems to read just fine.Quote:

So it would seem there is a problem elsewhere.
Something else I noticed, the solenoid wire either from the stock harness or the nelson harness, neither get 12v with the key all the way forward (or to engage the starter)......its gonna end up being something simple thats gonna pis me off. :D
