Help needed with Back-up lights switch

[petty437]

Trying to find help troubleshooting my 63 Dart Back-up light switch. No power to the lights when in reverse. Haven't removed it yet. Just trying to get a good picture of what I will be looking at. I have the service manual but no real help other than the wiring dia. Thanks

Automatic or 3 on the tree ?

The wiring diagram is all you need.

Assuming the switch is like a 67 there is a switch on the steering column and a pin to activate it. (Automatic)

Sorry! Push button auto

I believe the switch is in the push button assy. I checked the FSM and it is. It also gets it power from the circuit breaker on the wiper switch.

It's not like a 65 up. It's the push button auto

That I know. I'm just trying to see if anyone has a picture of one or has done one.

Do your wipers work?

This might give you a general idea of whats there.
Opening your switch and attempt to repair it? Good luck

Everything else in the car works. Including the lights in the buttons.

Yes, they work like a Champ.... blinkers, headlights, brake lights, all work.... EXCELLENT Video by the way..........Thanks as well. it should be a sticky thread, RedFish....

Got mine working! Found a break in the wire just ahead of the trunk connector. I was able to verify power into & out of the switch then went from there! Thanks @RedFish for the great video!
