Is there some kind of special plug or connection that goes to the reverse light switch on the transaxle? I just got the tranny all back together, now trying to figure out how to wire the reverse switch.
Since this is a custom installation, no existing wiring harness to "reconnect". Is the switch plug available as a separate replacement part? Doc E recommended just soldering some wires into the switch and make up my own plug - which I'm not opposed to doing but keeping in mind the switch is an $85 replacement part, I don't want to muck it up! Any other options for hooking up the switch (replacement plug sources, or alternate non-stock solutions)? I just want a reliable connection without dropping a ton of $$! Jeff |

Go to your local auto parts store and get 2 bullet connectors that fit your switch. Probably less than $.50 each. Crimp them on and check your connection. I would recommend you getting the rubber boot cover though.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) the two bullet connectors simply slide into the switch, order doesn't matter. a rubber boot keeps the dirt out ...
