RE: [DML] Replacing Reverse Light Switch

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,
Penetrating fluid would not hurt anything, but mother nature with dust and
dirt will leach back in over the years. The switch is beveled so when it is
tightened down it seats a little different than a normal bolt. You might
want to put a 16mm crush washer of a soft copper to help seal the threads.
Then you need to check and make sure the washer didn't change the light
coming on by changing the depth of the switch. You might also want to use
some electrical grease on the contacts.

Subject: [DML] Replacing Reverse Light Switch





Hi All,

I'm in the process of replacing my reverse light switch on the
transmission and had a couple of questions.  I have never replaced
this before so I'm looking for some tips.  Mine seems to be rusted
on there pretty good and I'm having difficulty getting it off.  If I
use a rust penetrator and let it sit for awhile would it hurt
anything on the transmission?  Also, there is a rubber boot that
fits over the switch - mine is in good condition considering the age
but should I also seal the boot with something else to prevent water
from getting in?

Thanks!
Greg L.
