I replaced the neutral safety switch and as soon as I tried to start it a wire burned. Had to install a push button switch to start it. What I need to know is just where do the 2 wires plug onto this switch? There's several places. Think maybe I plugged into a wrong one and made the wire burn. Also, which spot would be the one to hook up backup lights? Thanx

Another quality post.

This is the ones you want . the other prongs are in the middle of the switch, side buy side, and they are for the backup lights.Hopes this helps! | | |

I'm going to rewire it this spring and I wanted to make sure I knew where everything went. My goal is to pass the NSRA safety inspection. Why? I dunno, maybe 'cause it's there!
