RE: wiring for back up lights

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

The power for the back up light switch in a push button car comes from 
the wiper switch.  The back up lights come on when the reverse button is 
pushed and has nothing to do with the tranny.

I appreciate this fact in that I can flash my back up lights (as a 
friendly good bye or whatever) by pushing the reverse button partially.  
The lights come on and the gears don't change.

This can be proven.  Put the key in "on or Acc" (you do not have to 
start the car) and press the reverse button.  If you can watch the back 
up lights (the garage door closed) the lights will come on almost as 
soon as you touch the button.  When my hearing was better, I could hear 
the click of the switch as the reverse button was gently pressed.

The console shift automatics have the back up light switch in the 
console and is activated by the position of the gear shift lever and is 
not directly connected to the tranny as in later years either.
