Title: Reverse switch for gearbox
Post by: Hiho on July 22, 2011, 06:08:52 pm

Hi everyone,

I have a gearbox with the 5 of 8 pin reverse switch plug. Unfortunately the pins have corroded and snapped off. I believe any of the multi pin type switches will work. Postage is to Australia. Also, a 16 tooth speedo cable drive gear would help the cause....

Cheers!

Matt

You can take old switches apart, I did that and swapped internals around to make it work. Then I got LED backup lights to lower the current through the switch.

they sold 2 or 3 different pin layouts for that switch.. so you gotta get the right one..

also you will want to add in a load reduction relay to power the back up lights.. else it will just melt/ruin another swich down the road..
