I have a 1984 244 - standard transmission. Sometime last fall or winter, the back-up lights stopped working. Obviously I checked the bulbs and fuse -- they are all fine. A week or two ago I went under, found the contacts on the transmission (farther back on tranny, near the top on the left) where the sensor/switch attaches (2 wires), and found that the insulation had rotted off the wires over the last couple inches. I cleaned them off and re-insulated them, plugged them back in, but still no back-up lights. Is it possible I hooked them up backwards ? - I didn't think it should matter. Any other id eas?
Thanks for your help.
