Subject:      Back-up lights don't work
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

My 84 Westy is having back-up light issues.  I have pulled switch, and put
an ohm meter on it, and see that is it closed regardless of switch position.


So, the back-up lights should be on all the time, which they are not.  So, I
put a circuit tester on the leads, and neither caused the tester to light
(key in on position, not running however).

The horn works, same fuse as the back-up lights.

Any ideas?



Thanks!

84 Westy, new paint, newer motor, no back-up lights!
