EZ- WIRE Question???

I have a wire on the kit that says REVERSE SWITCH; Is that on the GM column that I'm using or is it some where else? The book doesn't show where it is located. Thanks RUSTY

Rusty, the reverse light switch is usually part of the neutral safety switch on the column.

Rusty,

If its a GM column it will be down low, below the ignition and dimmer light switches. As has already been stated its typically joined with the nuetral safety switch.

If you are going with an aftermarket shifter they will have some provision for a reverse/nuetral safety switch on the shifter.

Good luck
Bobby

Thanks all; This is my first kit install. It's in my son's 88 4x4 Ch##y. Thought I would practice on his before I do my 50f1. LOL.

Bobby; his is a column shift, Mine is a B&M floor shift. I have the wiring started on it, I have the ECM mounted on a steel plate behind the pass bucket seat along with my EZ-wire 21 and the battery is also there. And the rest of the fuel pump, fan, and other relays. It's slow but I'm getting there.

Rusty,

Both are easy to deeal with. Look towards the bottom of the column, down below the ignition and dimmer switches. I'm running the B&M shifter on my truck to, its very easy and the switches are on the shifter.
