Backup switch
My backup lights are not working so i removed the switch at the base of the steering column (68 Fury III)... can someone tell me if the red sliding mechanism on the back of it is supposed to attach to something?
Thanks |
Can someone please tell me the part that is supposed to move the toggle... Doing my head in!
|
Back up light switch is on the trans.... Violet wire....
I think?????? |

pics attached.
the switch works... as the red spring mechanism slides it makes contact with the wires and the backup lights come on, i can do this with my fingers. just cant figure out what actually moves the mechanism when bolted onto the base of the steering column? is there an arm or something i am missing? |
the issue is with this switch, not the trans. as i said i can get it to work with my fingers.
|
I was looking for a break down of the column, but I could not find one.....
I also dont see a bracket listed for it..... Maybe some one else has a break down for us....?????? |
thanks racerhog.
is anyone else familiar with this set-up? |
the part i need is 2883211. does anyone know where i can get one?
|

Keep us posted.... On my '68 Fury, the back up lights don't work either and other than checking the bulbs, I have never investigated.... Thanks!! |

Here are some pics I found of what it looks like installed. I have the manual for the 68 Fury and apparently to get these out of the slot originally you must brake them and they are unable to be reused.
Since, to the best of my knowledge, they are not reproduced this makes them extremely hard to come by in working condition (or even at all)! I am going to attempt to use a bolt or something in its place and hope it works. if anyone knows where I could get this part please let me know. ill keep you posted. thanks |
If anyone else is having issues with their back up lights, I would check this first. it seems to be quite a common problem but very little information out there on it!
I believe this is an older type set-up also and the newer models run through the neutral safety switch in the transmission. |
