Anyone has the instructions for truck (manual Transmission) back-up light switch wiring. I know the switch mounts below on the transmission stick and one wire goes to the light in the back but how about the other wire? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 136 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 136 | The other wire must be to connect to a power source. What truck are ya working on??

I believe the spot light should go to the + side of the ammeter wehre the horn connects; however, if that is the case I still don't know what king of voltager reducer I should use and or fuse for them. The reverse light, I think it should be wire to the "B" wire to the regulator or ignition wire. Your thoughts The other wire must be to connect to a power source. What truck are ya working on??

As far as power for spot a resistor like on heater may work or you could change out to a 12 volt bulb if base is the same. Fuses are always a great idea on any add on item.

It's a good idea when you start adding lights & assec. to put an aux. fuse panel under the dash. Gang together the circuit's you want going through the switch & the ones that are hot all the time.

Should the fuse be on the 12volt wire or the 6 volt side and what size should I go with, 15amps? | | |
