backup/nuetral switch QUESTION - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SWINGSAX68 · 07-21-2002, 09:31 PM

I messed with the little adjustment screws and housing for my auto steering column a few weeks back when I couldn't get the shift lever to move....did I put it out of it's adjustment? Will this have an affect on how the back up lamp switch works in combination with the shifting?? will I need to mess with the adjustment until I get the switch to work??????

P.s i asked for a price on a new switch and it was $11, is that right, i went to O'reilly's

If you tweaked the switch some yes you could have messed the switch up from coming on in reverse, I don't think it would effect the safety part, but not sure.
Best way to tell is have some one pull into reverse and see if the lights come on, if not move the switch til it does.
There nothing more worse than seeing a truck or car going down the road with it's backup lights on.
While you have it in reverse try cranking it and see if it starts, if it does then you no what you have to do.
