Reverse Light Switch

Hey guys! Long time no see! Well, that's my fault...

Does anyone know of a source where I can get instructions on how to replace the reverse light switch? Mine went out about 6mths ago and since I reverse park ALL the time, it gets frustrating when cars follow too closely.

If there are no resources, just tell me where exactly it is (I read that it is on the transmission) so that I can determine if it is worth the $45 in labor to replace it.

It says on 02 and later models (assuming its a 5spd)

"...disconnect the switch elec. connector.

The switches are both on top of the transaxle.

The reverse switch is toward the front of the vehicle and the neutral is toward the rear.

If you are testing the Reverse switch, place transaxle in reverse and verify that there is continuity between the connector terminals.

Verify that there is NO continuity between the terminals in any other gear."

hope that helps man... later

Thanks Chino! I have a 6 speed. In fact, I think you convinced me to go pick up that guide.
