I have no reverse/backup lights. Jumpering the wires on the tranny mounted switch gets them to come on, so I figure the wiring is ok and the switch is flaky. I have no knowledge about the internals of our trannys, so before I replace it I wanted to verify if the switch is immersed in fluid or dry. If wet, I'd just plan a gear oil change as part of the process.
Thanks for any insight. Bryan |
