Post subject:  Reverse lights
The reverse lights on Pops don't come on. Is there a switch on or near the gearbox that controls them?

the switch is in the front of the gearbox on the passenger side, near the top..... if it's fitted

Is it a rod change box...
if so it's on the gear lever selector box. next to the exhaust, most times the exhaust hits it or the wires have gone missing.

Hey Anton,

I had the same problem. Not loose wires - the switch was coming apart!! It is held together by squashing the ali body over the plastic top. Take it out, squeeze it back tgether and tap (using a BFH) the folds down to stop any movement. Should start working again.

The switch, if fitted, is on the front of the gearbox just under the oil filter.When mine didn't work I had to make up a new plunger to get the correct length for it to operate properly.Trial and error with a mutimeter.

So how did you go with your reverse lights anton??

Easy way to see if the switch is fitted is check the rear lights. If the blinkers at the back have twin fillement (sp?) then it's got a reversing light switch. 8)

hmmmm.......I had a good look this arvo. Nothing in the area mentioned......only the large hex head bolt for the reverse gear spring. I had a read of a few manuals, and all I could find was mention of a switch in the wiring diagram....can't see it on the car.

Like you say Poeee.......should there be one or did K's have it as an option....or not at all?

Anyone??

They did not come with reversing lights till they had to!

The switch goes onto the the large hex head bolt for the reverse gear spring.

so....if I go for a pink slip and the guy says..."reverse lights?" and I say "nope"......it will still pass?

No reverse lights on a `70 car. Mine passes every year, without.
same goes for no heater on early cars. :wink:

<edit> It's the 1098 Clubbie and Clubman GT that got the reversing lights first I think. Twin filaments in the rear blinkers.
