Back-up Light Switch - HELP?

[vesnyder]

OK - Just purchased a used back-up light from a fellow board member for the 901 tranny. I first tested the switch to make sure it works (tested the continuity when the inner button is engaged). I then tested the back up lights by touching the wires. But when I installed the switch the lights do not come on? I had a prior switch that worked - but now that I think of it it may have been on another tranny? Is there a chance that the mechanism inside the tranny that engages the switch is broken? Does the engaging mechanism inside the tranny need alignment?

Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Did you re-use the old pin?
Ask Doc Evil (or some of the other experts will chime in), but I seem to remember the length of the pin affecting whether or not the switch will work or not.

Yes the old pin maybe the problem. Check it to see if it is bent or the end is deformed.
