Back up light switch
So my reverse lights have not been working for a while. I finally decided to look in to it.
Popped the old switch out, checked
continuity while the ball bearing was pressed in, no beep. Bad switch. Plugged a new one in to the harness and pressed the ball in, with the keys in, the reverse lights come on. Take the wiring harness off, thread in the new switch, plug it back in, start the truck, put it in reverse and nothing.
My question is:
what actuates the ball bearing in the switch?
it is located on the left hand, drivers side of the transmission housing.
has anyone else had this same problem?
