Do you still have the proper spacer (washer) under the switch?


The thickness of this part is critical.

Subject: back-up lights


When my backup lights didn't work I first checked bulbs, fuses, continuity
in wires, then checked the switch near on the driver's side of the manual
trans case (near the back, near the top as I recall). Tested with multimeter
and found the switch dead. Bought a new part (about $6) from California
Imports and installed in 5 minutes. Now my reverse lights work great -- in
reverse AND in first. Sorry for sort of highjacking your thread, but does
anyone know why this new gremlin might have arisen?

Hi All,


Can anyone offer advice on why my back-up lights have stopped working (can't
pass inspection here in MA) and suggestions for solving the problem?
Thanks,
