T5 Swap & Reverse Light

[hawkchief718]

I had my original automatic xmsn replaced with a T5. Just realized that my reverse lights don't come on anymore. Anybody know what parts I need to get this back working again. I'm assuming it's a send unit, but I'm not sure. Right now I've got it wired up with an on/off switch so I have to turn the lights on myself when I back up.

The left (driver's) side of your T-5 should have a backup light switch screwed into it. It's a simple affair that looks a bit like an oil pressure switch with two studs sticking out of it. It's a simple make (when in reverse) or break (when not) switch. Find the two wires that connected to your original backup light switch (not your neutral safety switch, if you had one). Connect them to the two studs on your new backup light switch. Done.

What he said.. You should already have the switch/sender (or else fluid would leak out of the T5). You just need to wire it up.
