Lookin for a connector to the reverse switch
 
I was wonderin if anyone here knows where I could find the connector that plugs into the reverse light switch of a '72 915 transmission. I've installed the 915 tranny into my '81 DeLorean about 2 years ago and its been GREAT! Since I've ran out of things to do with it :D I decided to get the reverse lights working. The switch is in the tranny, but I don't have the connector. There aren't any junkyards in my area that would have it so I was wonderin if anyone had one or could recommend a place. Thanks for any help!

There are no connectors, just two crimped pins that push into the receptacles.

I am in a similar situation. One of the pins on my wiring harness is missing but I don't know where to find a replacement.

Gotcha. So I just need to find some pins to plug into it. Does polarity matter with this switch?

Thanks for your help! :)

Polarity does not matter.

Thanks John!

May I ask what does the switch do actually? Does it make the 2 wires connected? Which mean I can touch the 2 wire to test the reverse lights?
Thanks.

Is it the same as brake switch, on G50 car? It looks similar to me.
Thanks

Not the same. A brake switch is hydraulically activated by the fluid pressure when you push on the brake pedal. The reverse switch is mechanically activated by a tiny shaft/pin inside the transaxle. Plus, the thread sizes are completely different.
