78broncoBackuplights

[Neldog]

Does anybody know where the back up light switch is on a 78 ford bronco with 351m automatic ? I have read my haynes manual and cannot find the back up swsitch. I can only find the neutral safety switch. The safety switch works fine and I was told that the switch also worked the back up lights. Backup lights are not getting power on both sides.

Thanx Lee

i know on my 88 250 the reverse lights are tied in with the neutral safety switch check there...use a test light put it in reverse see if you get power at the switch for reverse..if so start tracing wires there is a possibility on broken wire somewhere

I had the same problem and fixed it by buying a set of $20 mini driving lights and mounting them on the rear bumper and wired them to a switch. Work as well as headlights for backing up and also fend off tailgators at night by flicking them on. :lol:

yeah that works too.

I fixed my backup lights by replacing the neutral safety switch.

Thanx for the posts

How much did that cost ya, and where on the tranny is it located?

i've never had to replace any neutral safety switch.anytime i have a problem with reverse lights i check that first though to see if i can find the problem...and if i do have problems with the switch going bad we simply just bypass the switch. But i wouldnt imagine it costs much
