Common Issues It May Solve

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when the transmission is placed in reverse
• Intermittent backup lamp operation caused by worn switch contacts
• Electrical switching faults at the transmission-mounted switch
• Fitment problems from using a non-OE-style replacement switch
• Corrosion or wear at the original connector interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and mounting type before installation. This LS397 uses a female connector, 1 connector interface, and 2 male terminals, so the vehicle harness should match those specifications. Because it is a screw-in switch, proper thread engagement and alignment are important for reliable operation. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s reverse light circuit before final assembly.
