<VV> OK One more question - backup light switch

[Frank DuVal]

Shifter seal leaks way more often than the backup light switch. I would 
put the switch back in and only replace it if it does leak. IIRC, the 
back up lamp switch can be replaced with a 1/2-13 short bolt with 
sealant or o-ring for a seal.

It is a normally open contact style switch.
