  What this turned out to be was a bad bulb. The back up light bulb on the
  driver side was bad and once I replaced it, everything worked fine. So that
  begs the question: Does having a bad bulb create a "back feed" of some sort
  that caused the passenger side brake light to come on? It was a frustrating
  hour or so of testing and checking that ended up being something very
  simple.

  Bob, I am using that switch on my 3A HVDA for B/U. Simple SPST switch. Run
  power to one side, the other goes to the grounded light. Put an Ohm meter
  across the switch contacts and shifter in reverse if you need to test the
  switch.

  OK... I'm trying to get the back up lights to work with the Toyota 5 speed.
  The tranny has 2 contacts, the TR6 has 2 leads (G & G/N). G is switched hot
  and G/N goes to back up lights. Connect it all up, put it in reverse, turn
  on the key and nada. Continuity test on switch is good. Voltage test on
  leads shows power. Decide to connect G & G/N together to see if lights come
  on. What comes on is the right side back up light and the right side brake
  light. Go back to hooking it to switch and nothing again. After way more
  time than I care to admit, I finally figured it out. Can you or am I the
  only dummy?
