I have a '79 mci 9 automatic that the back up lights stay on whenever the ignition is on.Can someone tell me where on the trans. the switch is located or what might the problem be? |

I would guess that the reverse switch is stuck.
I looked in my MCI-9 parts manual. 7F-8-214 is given as the part number, listed in the Misc electrical section but there is no key to a drawing.
I looked in the transmission section and the only switch they list/show is the neutral safety switch. Looked in the body section to see if it's co-located with the shifter column and it doesn't show there either.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Onward and Upward

I believe you will find the reverse switch for the backup lights located on the shifter mechanism in the cockpit. Thanks, DrED |

If you have the Allison 740 automatic transmission, it may be a pressure switch in the reverse circuit on the transmision. I am at the fire station now, so I can't go look to see exact location of this switch. That is how our 73 MC-8 back-up lights were operated. I eliminated the OEM back-up lights (not bright enough). I cut 2 holes in the rear bumper and installed a pair of driving lights controlled by a toggle switch on the drivers side panel. This allows the light to be used for connecting in a campground, hitching toad or traile, as well as backing. |

sound like a sticky switch where-ever it's located, but I couldn't find it in Da Books for my 96A3 either.
