Leo B Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 (edited) Please help. My 4-Speed T-10 missing Back-Up (reverse) Light Switch. I have just bracket. Need to buy new switch. Stude is originalty 4-speed . What are these wires? I havent test yet but I guess #1 is for Back-UP Light Switch. Are #2 and #3 for Automatic? Neutral Switch and Shift lamp?

South Shore Motors Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 I don't know if auto and manual cars shared the same harness, but based on my car (an automatic), your wire identification is correct. #1 would be for backup lights, #2 is neutral-safety switch (looks like the black connector/wire loop has been used to bypass the switch) and #3 is shift indicator lamp. I would say that either your car has a wire harness from an automatic, or they shared the same harness.

I can leave them where they are and connect Back-Up Switch when I got that. 🙏
South Shore Motors Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 FWIW, I just replaced the backup and neutral-safety switches on mine with reproductions from Myers. They're actually from a GM application, but functionally identical with exception of the connector. I believe that manual trans used the same switch as auto. You'll either have to splice in the connector from your old switch or purchase a new one (which I was able to do). That connector style is used on some electric cooling fan applications.
