Can't get to it from under the console. It screws into the
transmission. With some care and a lot of manual dexterity, you can get
to it from underneath. There are two of these on the tranny, one is the
reverse lights and the other is the spark advace only-in-top-gear
switch. They are interchangeable. Before you remove the switch, make
sure both leads are hooked up. Then make sure that power is getting to
the switch via the harness. Do everything you can to make sure it's not
the switch before you remove it. It will be a pain to do on your back
under the car. If you have or plan to have the engine/tranny out, you
can get to it easily.
