Reverse Light Switch
Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2021 9:04 am
My Haflinger being a 73 build should have a reverse light mechanism and indeed my vehicle does have the actual light and the wiring into the engine bay but has never worked.
When working on my car I dismantled the gear linkage tower on the side of the gearbox where the switch is supposed but nothing is there - indeed it looks as if the housing has been replaced as the hole is not in the mounting pad on the side.
You can see the pad on the side - I think that is where the switch is supposed to go.
So if I buy the correct switch (if I can) and drill a hole with the correct thread and wire it up should this enable the reverse light? Unfortunately my parts list predates my model so does not have the reverse switch listed.
Thanks
