In either the manual or the automatic (not really automatic) the Rear Parking switch is manually switched to the ON position.

problem is now they will not come on automatically when you prompt "R". If you take the wire you taped and stuffed, make that wire power a relay (norm no contact) find a +12v source to pass tie it into the light side of your switch, there will be no back flow to the trans buttons when you manual power the lights.
