Changed my reverse light switch. It shuts off the reverse lights when you press the ball, but once installed won't shut the lights off? What is next? Could the piece in the transmission be broken?
Reverse lights wont shut off
- Thread starter mattweb7

I guess the first thing to rule out would be the reverse light switch itself (aftermarket parts these days have slipped in quality like every other aspect of life). It's not uncommon to get a bad part.
The other thing to check would be to make sure it's seated correctly and the wiring is snug.
I know these sound obvious, but Occam's Razor would suggest this as the best place to start.
Why did you replace it to begin with?
Replaced it becuase the old switch was bad. Lights wouldn't turn on at all. The new switch works when its not installed. If you push the ball on it they shut off. The old switch did nothing. I tested both while I had them out. Plugged them in to the harness and tested. The new ones works when its not screwed into the 6 speed transmission. It does nothing when installed. Can the piece thats in the transmission that pushes it be broken or how does it work inside the trans?
