I was just told by the Ford Dealer I had to pay 273.00 Dollars for a new Reversing Light Switch for my BA MKII 6 speed manual.

Where the do they get these prices from ??

Even the bloke behind the counter was shocked.

None in stock.. will get one overnight.

TRS024 looks like what your after mate. The rubber boot on the one you have no will pull off too expose the terminals

sometimes I think Ford say "Step right up and spin the wheel, what ever number you land on is what the part sells for"

count yourself lucky the wheel didnt land on $1000

Thank you for the Link.

Wish it was ... Too small at 14mm. :(

im sure they would sell a switch with a 16mm thread. Perhaps throw them an email. Mal woods may be able too help you out too

Got the new Switch.

Price : $ 273.17

Did you pay 273.17 for it??? OUCH

Did you pay 273.17 for it??? OUCH

Yes I did !!

Cut the old one open ... You can see the problem.

The unit stopped working when hot.

Took the Part Number of the box the new switch was in.

Put it in to Goggle and got this:

So if any one needs a new switch you can safe yourself over 200 dollars.
