Backup light switch

[ocsoorlando]

Need some help, my back up lights have never worked since I bought my Bronco. Today I figured out why, I have the rear wiring harness out and had the two backup light connections were not connected to any wires. Apparently the PO disconneted the wires. My issue is where is the back up light switch located on a stock 3 speed???????

As mentioned, the switch was mounted on the column from the factory. It was a push button switch that was activated by the shift arms when the three on the tree was put into reverse. If your three speed has been converted to floor shift, the switch may have been removed.

I had the same problem, the po took it off the column shift linkage. I did like pappitt and wire to a toggle on the dash. Makes closing gates at the hunting club easier after dark.
