jeepwm69 6,827 Posted June 22, 2022 Still working on my buddies 450. Got a hot battery hooked up and hooked up the new meter. When I turn the key on both the neutral and reverse lights are lit up. If I shift to first gear both of the lights go out. If I shift back to neutral they both come on, but sometimes they are dim and if I push down on the shifter while in neutral they get brighter when the shift drum bottoms against the reverse stop lever. Sometimes even a neutral neither light is on, but if I shift down and hit that reverse stop they both light up as if that is acting as a ground When I get to my desktop tomorrow I intend to look up troubleshooting on the gear position switch in the factory service manual. That said, anyone else have any ideas as to what would cause this? @retro @Melatv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retro 3,801 Posted June 22, 2022 Sounds like a gear position switch to me too. They are easy to test. 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
