backup lights wont work??
#11
i looked at every wire under there--only switch type item i seen was for the brake?--got me stumped--i dont even know how it could send power to those lights,because i cant find anything on the tranny or shifter --so how could it turn them on when put in reverse???--thanks

ITS a 77 and it has a hurst shifter in the floor with just a cable going to the tansmission linkage--and i cant see any wires or switches that would trigger the backup lights??--seems too simple to be causing this much of a headach!!

Look under the hood at the steering column. It may be that the Hurst shifter was installed and the linkage to the column was not hooked up. You should see an arm near the firewall on the column that has either linkage hooked to it, or a hole for linkage. If that arm is not hooked up it wont activate reverse lights.

yep--i was just getting ready to post that i had found out that the rod from the linkage to the column was missing---anyone know were i can get one?--or would the switch be better?--and were i would find one of those---i think i would be fine with just the origional rod--as can pull down some on the column link and the lights will come on ----thanks

If the rod is gone, it probably wouldn't mate to the new shifter anyway. I'd contact Hurst and see what they have for an accessory switch and wire one in.
You still need to find that switch on the column, but once you do you can just splice the two wires to the new switch and you're good to go.
