Hi all. I'm replacing my faulty reverse light switch (the one that's installed on the transmission) tomorrow. Anyone got any tips for removing the old one and installing the new one?
Hey all i'm working on my reverse switch now and when I disconnected the connector that joins the switch to the wires running to the lights I found that it was saturated with oil. It was'nt gunky oil either. What kind of oil do you think this is? Manual trans oil? I looked around and I think the oil is coming from where the switch connects to the trans. Maybe it leaked out through the threads? Do you think if I dry out the switch it might work? Maybe I don't need a new switch. Any ideas?
Probably not. It was way too tight for a crow's foot.A trip down to the local auto parts store or Sears would be a good place to find one. They are not really that expensive. Even a flare nut crows foot might have worked.
Awesome video. I just tried to get this switch off my truck the other day using a flare wrench. No bueno. I had no room to turn the wrench once it got a solid hold. So I'm thinking the crowfoot like in this video may be the way to go.did replace my, see the video, is a 5 speed
