Reverse Light Switch

[bigdan120]

Hey does anyone know what reverse light switch to use as a replacement? Mine don't work......I have power there and they will work if I cross the wires so it is the switch for sure.....Just can't seem to figure out what might fit........VW is differnt thread size from what I have seen..

I took mine apart and was able to clean the contacts. It was full of sand.

Yeah that didn't turn out so well for me..LOL Even if it came aprt in one piece it would have been junk anyway...So I did a bunch of looking at pictures on the net and tried to find one that at least looked close....So I am trying a reverse switch from a 96 Geo Metro 1.0...Ordered it from Rockauto...12.00 bucks with shipping. Time will tell...Looks good on the web but I could not find the thread size for it. So hopefully it will fit...I will let everyone know....

UPDATE! If you need a reverse switch use this one 96 Geo Metro reverse switch 1.0 Same threads same gasket same lengh...Ordered it from Rockauto...12.00 bucks with shipping. Anyways it takes care of 2 things it is a sealed unit with wires attached no dirt in it and I soldered the wires togather on mine so 1 less plug to worry about. Works well.....Hope this helps someone out there....
