Australia, so right-hand drive?  The solenoid cable runs down  that side of
the tunnel (do you mean tunnel rather than console, and do you  mean 
selector
lever rather than gearbox, which is at the rear of  course?).

Are they thick red/white striped?  Sounds like starter  solenoid connections
to me, but with auto there's also something to stop  you starting in drive,
maybe only in park. I'm not experienced with  automatics - I can only 
suggest
you look for the wire(s) that were  connected to them.  They must still be
somewhere!
 
I believe they (if they're red/black striped, and or red/white  striped) go 
to the neutral safety switch. I think they sit almost on top of  each other 
in the plastic holder (it's been a few years since I've been inside  the 
cover of Sue's Fastback). It's there to prevent you from starting the  engine 
in any gear other than neutral. I don't remember when starting in park  was 
added, but it might have been 72. You'll have to remove the selector  cover, 
and on the right side is the plastic "switch" you'll see 2 open spade  
connections for the wires to reattach. Note, you should also see 2 smaller  
black wires there as well. They're for the reverse lights. I hope this helps.
