Neutral safety/reverse light switch mounting.
« on: October 26, 2012, 10:05:01 PM »
I had to swap out my column and I think I lost parts to my reverse light switch. I cant figure out how its supposed to mount. Does anyone have a picture of all of tge parts? I bought a new one.

The reverse light switch is on your SM465 isn't it? The neutral safety switch would be your clutch safety switch mounted on your pedal.

Don't know if a picture helps but this is a column from a 91 Suburban slated for my 85 Extended cab

Should be very similar.  Two screws and the switch is about all there is to it.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Mine has no screws or screw holes. If i remember correctly there were 2 little plastic "ears" that it clipped into but i cant find anything to support that theory. Do you by chance have a picture from the side of the switch instead of from the top?

This is the same style, clips only-no screws.  I will take a picture this afternoon and post it up

Hate to seem impatient, but can someone get a picture for me? I hate not having reverse lights
