    Default Reverse lights not working after trans swap

    Hi guys.

    I recently swapped my auto trans over in my VS and ever since the Reverse lights won't come on anymore.

    Does anyone know what could have caused this ?

    I was thinking maybe I shorted the fuse or globes when I plugged the cables/wires into the new transmission but not sure as the battery was disconnected at the time

    Thanks

    First thing I thought, The neatural safety switch? Did you have problems before?

    I push the pedal to the floor, smoke them up and go.

    I'd readjust the long rod that goes from under the selector to the transmission...loosen the bolt (in P) and wiggle about and re-tighten.....this presumes that when you put it all together the neutral safety switch and reverse switch ended up in a slightly different position than before. I was lucky with mine - bolted together like a bought one.
