Collectors Auto shows they have 51 of them. They fit all 60 with automatic trans. I believe they are the same for 60-63 & probably further. I wouldn't be too surprised if you could still get one from Chrysler. The part number is 1972052.John----- Original Message ----- From: <randalpark@xxxxxxx>To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 9:00 AM Subject: Re: IML: Backup lights 1960 Imp at fault I don't know if you can get a new switch or not. There are switches out there that could be made to work. The switch lever has a notch in it that works in conjunction with the plastic push button arm. As with anything, if you are careful, you can probably take it apart and fix it if it doesn't work. I was able to make all of my original switches work years ago, and as far as I know, they still do Paul W. -----Original Message----- From: Rob van der Es <R.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sun, 27 May 2007 12:54 am Subject: Re: IML: Backup lights 1960 Imp at fault Thanks Paul!, I am glad to know that the switch is easy to reach (now that's a change!, for one time something is easy to reach when it comes to the dash of a 60). You might have hit the nail on head that the switch have become loose, I had to push the R button firmly since I own the car to make the lights work. This kind of operation won't do the switch to much good I am afraid.. Do you know if these switches are still available (new or NOS)?

It may have become loose, or it might need to be cleaned or replaced. It is a toggle that moves with the R button. I believe that it can be easily by-passed with a manual toggle as suggested earlier. The wires are visible once the speedometer is out, and may be unplugged (or cut if necessary) to temporarily make the lights functional for the inspection. Its been a long time since I was inside there on my cars, I don't recall anything difficult about accessing the switch. Good luck on this!

I always had trouble since I own the car to make the backup lights lite up. I have to hit the R button of the gear selector hard (and sometimes a couple of times, alternating between N and R) to make it work. So I guess the backup light switch is at fault and it need to be replaced. Am I right here, and if so ; How do you replace this switch? I guess it is somehow connected to the gear selector assembly but I don't know how. If this switch is at fault, is it still possible to get a replacement? Or is it repairable?
