NOTE: Jumper wires are used at the neutral safety
switch connector and the automatic transmission
backup lamp switch connector to complete the circuit on
vehicles equipped with manual transmission.
Switch Adjustment and Replacement—Automatic Transmission
A combination backup and neutral safety switch is
mounted on the steering column. This switch is adjust
able. If defective, the switch must be replaced.
To adjust the backup lamp switch, place the transmis
sion shift lever in the R position. Loosen (do not remove)
the two switch attaching screws. Turn the ignition
switch to the On position. Rotate the switch one direc
tion or the other until the backup lamps operate.
Tighten the attaching screws. Check the switch for an
engine start in the N and P positions. The engine must
not start in R, D, 2 or 1 position.
As an aid to adjusting the backup lamp switch, install
a test lamp to the lamp side of the switch and ground
one side of a test lamp. When the test lamp lights, the
backup lamps are operating.

CARGO LAMP
A cargo lamp is offered on some Truck models (fig.
3R-11). The cargo lamp bulb is replaced by removing the
outer lens.
DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL SWITCH
The most frequent causes of failure in the directional
signal system are loose connections and burned out
bulbs. A flashing rate approximately twice the normal
rate usually indicates a shorted bulb is in the circuit.
If a three-lamp flasher is installed in a vehicle having
only two lamp bulbs per side, the lamps will light but
will not flash. If a two-lamp flasher is used on a vehicle
having three lamps, the higher current draw will cause
the lamps to flash too fast.

If there is no signal at any front, rear or indicator
lamp, check the fuse.
If fuse checks okay, substitute a known good flasher.
If a new flasher does not cure the problem, check the
signal system wiring connections at the fuse and at the
steering column connector.
NOTE: If the brake stoplamps function properly, the
rear signal lamp bulbs are okay.
The directional flasher is mounted directly to the fuse
panel. Refer to the wiring diagram at the rear of the
manual for circuitry.
