<p>Why not simply wire a toggle switch to the lighting feed?</p>
<p>There are great spring-loaded momentary toggle switches that
could do the job. When released, they spring back to the Off
position, so a driver wouldn't inadvertently leave the reverse
lamps on.</p>
<p>These switches conform to the KISS principle.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was hoping to have it switched by the

of messages on how to install a reversing light switch to the
centre shift gearbox.<u></u><u></u></p>

am told it is quite simple to do. As you sit in the car the
overdrive inhibitor switch is located on the left hand side of
the remote control shift housing. All you do is to locate an
additional switch directly opposite on the remote control
shift housing in what is in effect a mirror image of what is
already there. I am told it is matter of drilling a hole into
the housing, tapping the correct thread and then installing in
the switch.<u></u><u></u></p>

to install a switch inside the bell housing, around where the
selector rods are, but I think that would be a problem with
the switch being way out of reach.<u></u><u></u></p>

gearbox in front of me, but I suspect that even a dummy like
me could stumble through it.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Well, this dummy has thought about it and
not got the solution. I’d mount the second switch opposite the
overdrive switch. But what about the wiring? Does anyone have
a diagram? There’s some basic principle that I’m not
grasping….probably plain as a pikestaff once someone shows me.<u></u><u></u></p>
