Hi,
I need help with what I thought was a simple switch change.
Installed the new switch after confirming the old one wasn't working. Pressing the switch with my fingers gets the reverse light on so I thought... easy easy... done. After screwing in the switch, the reversing light still doesn't come on. So now I'm completely baffled... what else could it be?
Doesn't this mean my electrics are all good? If so, then something inside the manual transmission? Help... any ideas?
Check you didn't blow a fuse when you were changing the switch.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
Wot he said ^^^^ ... and...
Was the fuse OK before you changed the switch?
Played with anything in the reverse light circuit, reverse cams etc?
If fuse was prev OK the wiring should be OK unless the old switch went faulty then a second fault occurred.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
this is a few years ago but coming back to update so other's can benefit.
the issue was the size of the steel ball that sits inside of the reverse switch in the gear box. who would've thought that a previous owner made this mistake or perhaps some other reason.
afteri bought the new ball, i took the old on and it was very clear the new one was much bigger. install new ball and old switch... all working perfect. that only took me a few years to bother fixing.
