Hey guys, quick question about a T-5 reverse light swtich installation. I had 2 options of how to install the "wires" on the posts. See the picture below.

Does the orientation matter? I'm pretty sure I did it the first way. If these wires touch, does that mean my reverse lights will go on while I'm not in reverse?

It's a simple switch. Doesn't matter which wire goes where, but they can't touch outside of the switch

Thanks. Mine was a little out of whack when I installed it, so it actually is possible that the wires could be touching. I'll have to recheck.

Thanks
