back-up switch removal???

[eclipse0508]

i have a 95 gs...and my reverse lights dont work. i have checked all the simple things and i think is is the reverse switch on top of the transmission case?? anyone ever replaced this and how could i clean it?? could someone put some detail in their post on how to remove it. i can remove the electrical connection but im not sure about the whole switch??? also where could i get a new one????

Just disconnect the plug, get a deep-well socket that fits it, ot a wrench and unscrew. I put a little bit of teflon tape on the threads when I put the new one in.

I dont think that it would be in your best interest to "clean" the sensor. Just buy a new one. It really east to fix.

(I prefer a dab of Permatex #1 on threads like this- I've found bits of Teflon tape in places I'd rather it wasn't before.)

Has anyone deleted their switch altogether? No one needs to know when I'm backing up .

Just unscrew it like a typical bolt, mine came off pretty easy.

I beg to differ.

You could just remove it or disconnect it, but that's unequivocally illegal in the United States.

Why would you care more about that than the fact it's easier to see with lights when backing at night? A simple LED mod can net you some amazing results for backup lights.

Unless this is an all track car then excuse the hell outta me, but not having lights for a DD can bring only regret.
