Shifter position vs idle speed

Shifter position vs idle speed
For all those who want an aftermarket shifter for their auto.
The car is the one in my sig. 1996 lt1/4l60e swapped into a caprice then turboed and tuned via a 2 bar speed density tune. Im having some problems with the car idling in park/neutral. The car has a b&m prostick shifter. While logging the car i realized that it was not switching between the 600 rpm idle in gear and the 700 rpm idle in park/neut. after consulting with shoeboxs website i realized that there is a pin for
Lt Green (Automatic) Park/neutral feed from transmission range switch (V8 VIN P only)
i am assuming that this is the switch that sits on the stock shifter telling the computer if the car is in park or neutral.
Does anyone know what kind of voltage or amperage this pin requires? I believe i can hook up a microswitch to the prostick, but i would like to know how many amps this circuit draws and if its bat voltage or 5v etc....if i would need a relay etc...
Thank you

According to my site, that wire should be orange/black, not lt green.
When in park or neutral, the shifter should send a ground to the lead. You should see battery voltage on the end of the harness (not connected).
With the harness connected and monitoring voltage on the orange/black, you should see battery voltage when in gear and no voltage when in park or neutral.
There is no relay in the stock harness, so you probably don't need one.
