wiring costs for manual transmission

[gotscrewed]

i just bought a 1992 ford probe 2 weeks ago. it is my first car. the car is a 5 speed manual and i started having problems with it 3 days after i bought it. the guy i bought it off of was a mechanic and he won't even look at it for me. so i took it to our ford dealer and had them look at it. i found out that it used to be an automatic. they switched the transmissions and didn't do the wiring right. ford told me they were surprised it runs at all. now, it won't even start and they are telling me the only way it can be fixed is to have the correct wiring on it. they won't do it, because it takes to much time, and they don't make money that way. i was wondering if i took it to a mechanic how much it would cost to have the car fixed. thanks in advance for your advice.

You may have go to an electric shop and pay a flat rate to get it fixed. It might take a couple of hours it might take a couple of days.
I would talk to this mechanic again take your dad with you. If what you say is correct this is a case of fraud. Since he did the work he should know how to fix it. You might have to pay him something.
If all else fails take him to small claims court. He knows you are short on money and is taking advantage of you.
Some junk yards have a place where they swap transmissions and motors.
You could check with them they would use all used parts to replace any missing controls and get it running. I wouldn't normally recommend them but in your case getting it running with junk parts might be the way to go. The wiring harness should cover both and they would know what is missing. As mazda built the probe parts should be readible.
