prevent the possibility of electrical spark or 'shorting out'
the battery, either of which could result in an explosion
and severe personal injury or death.
The reverse buzzer be removed without removing the
direction selector switch from the vehicle.

Replacing the Reverse Warning Buzzer

Before replacing the warning buzzer, test it to ensure it
is not working properly. To test the reverse warning
buzzer, carefully remove the two electrical wires from
the buzzer. Using two test leads, attach one lead to each
terminal. Touch the loose end of one wire to the (+) bat-
tery terminal and the other wire to the (-) terminal. If the
buzzer is in good condition the buzzer will sound. If no
sound is heard, the buzzer will need to be replaced.
Remove the wires from the failed buzzer and attach the
wires to the replacement buzzer. Test as above to
ensure replacement buzzer is in good condition. After
restoring power, test the wiring to ensure it is operational
by connecting wires to replacement buzzer and moving
the direction selector to "REVERSE' position before con-
tinuing. Once it is determined that the buzzer and wiring
are good, remove the failed buzzer from the direction
selector assembly and replace with new buzzer.

Replacing the Direction Selector Switch

Before replacing the direction selector switch, turn off
the ignition switch and disconnect the positive (+) bat-
tery cable.
To remove the direction selector switch, the key switch
panel must be removed from the dash panel. Drill out
the rivet, as shown in BODY section, and pull plate from
dash. To remove the direction selector switch, squeeze
the four clips, two each on the top and bottom of the
switch, and push switch through the dash panel from the
back side.
Make note of wire locations and remove one wire at a
time from the bad switch and place it on the same termi-
nal of the new switch. Once all three wires have been
attached to the new switch, ensure each is securely fas-
tened and push switch back through the dash from the
front until the four clips have snapped in place securely
attaching switch in the dash.
