I didnt pass inspection becuase my reverse lights dont work. They said I need a new switch, but I remeber when my old neighbor put in my clutch a few months ago that he was doing it fast and mabye he forgot to reconnect the switch for reverse lights..... or am I thinking wrong? What does it look like? Can anyone getr me a pic so I can run outside and check before I pay them 75 for a new switch.

Get a circuit test light and check the plug with two holes. One side should have power at all times with the ign on. The switch is just a ball bearing that touches a housing when the reverse lever is pulled across it. I would bet doughnuts, that the switch connector is either reversed, not attached, or needs to be re-attached. I would try the circuit tester if none of the above work.
Just got back from the shop and got the sticker.......

Worst case on the part is that you will have to pay a restocking fee. If they were the ones that told you it is bad, that is their fk up. I would NOT pay. Work with the manager and explain the situation and tell them a friend merely plugged the socket in and your mechanics are poor if they could not figure that out. Let them take you to court if need be, I'll back ya! I hate shady shops. I would have checked the plug and continuity and charged $20 for diag if I had a shop. That reason is one of many I fix Everything on my car except mounting and balancing tires. Good skills to learn to fix everything yourself. But I have been doing it for 18 years so I have a little more milage.
Yea I told him I didnt need the part and he gave me something about how he special ordered and there is no refund on special orders, and I said "well I wouldnt have agreed to order it if u guys didnt say I NEEDED it" he said "well we saw that it would work if you plugged it in tight but it was still intermitant working (which I never noticed) so its best to just throw it on since we have it.... free labor" so I just said w/e

I have nothing productive to add!
Maybe it's different in the newer trannies, but in the older trannies (Fox) the switch is internal and not adjustable or easy to replace IIRC.
I wonder if they may be taking you for a ride...
