I finally cracked and took it to a friend's shop, where by pure coincidence, they had a GT1 for a few weeks.
You're on the money with the cluster guess, although it seems to be a fault within the...

A new switch was the first thing I did!
Besides checking with a multi-meter, I've traced the wires from the switch to where they disappear into the dash with a huge bundle of other wires with no...

Thanks for the ideas, but in the original post I mentioned that the lamps are still on even with the sensor disconnected. I checked the harness for a short by testing for continuity between the two...

I like your thinking! But this would mean (since the functionality of the switch was tested) that putting the vehicle in reverse would turn off the lamps and return the mirror to home.
I'll try it...

I believe he (she)'s referring to an automatic transmission, as the manual doesn't have a gear identification sensor or switch.
The only wiring, switches or sensors on this trans is the single,...

I know! The only non-LIM reason I could think of was a short in the wiring, but I tested it for continuity (one multi-meter lead on one prong of the plug, the second on the other prong, resistance...
