I bought an electical connetor tht breaks the circuit to delete cags. I noticed my reverse lights are inop. Is it possible the reverse lights are powered from the same wires?

No - different issue and not unusual for a ZF. Check connector at the B/U switch. Some have removed, 'soaked & exercised' the switch. Regardless diagnose the B/U as a separate issue. Fuse first?

Ok. How difiule is it to remove the switch? I am guesin it is at the top front left side of tranny?
Also, what do you soak it in?

If you get the car up high enough it is not that difficult to put a hand on it. I took mine to a Jiffy lube place and asked them to get at it from the underside from their "pit." I know the guys so they allowed me down there to eyeball. It is a tight squeeze on the upper left side (hot exhaust pipes don't help) but doable- laying on your back makes it more difficult.

I bought a new sensor so the swap was quick- about 10 minutes. The guys did not charge me, but I brought them a case of beer for their efforts.

I'd soak in any petroleum based solvent. In fact you don't need to "soak" if you spray a bunch of WD40 in a plastic sandwich bag a put your switch in there. The main thing is to have that little ball moving ina dn out.

For me? I'd buy a new switch and be done with it.

Where is a good source for this part?
