    Back up light wiring help

    Hey guys, I finally got around to this. After attempting to get to it from underneath with a socket or wrench and failing, I ordered a 24mm crow foot wrench. Worked perfectly! The switch worked while removed but was shorting out when installed. Ordered replacement and worked perfectly! Thanks...

Since both wires in gear show ground and switch does connect two side properly, the 12v feed is shorted and the pass through, also grounded, is feeding ground to back up light which, of course does nothing. Next is to find some time to remove seats and tran...

    Back up light wiring help

    I was using some fairly cheap alligator extensions to test the circuit. These got very hot to where insulation was soft within 5-8 sec. To clarify, my test light is connected to ground and 12 volts. Green led indicates ground. When I place in reverse, I am getting ground at switch wires...

    Back up light wiring help

    Hello, I am hoping to get some help here as I am stumped. PO has left behind a lot of wiring disconnected. I am currently on the reverse light. The red/purple wires come off the switch with male adapters (no power or grd). Nearby harness has 2 red/purple with female adapters (one 12v when ign...
