Default Replacing the back up light switch

Thanks to Bill Boudreau's generosity, http://www.zfdoc.com/, of loaning his back up light switch tool made an impossible job doable. It was a very simple job with this tool, although it is best to move the slave cylinder out of the way. Otherwise you cannot manipulate your hand enough to install the new switch. Here is the time saver:

Good ol' American ingenuity and generosity, all wrapped up in one package. Gotta admire those qualities in a guy. A tip of the cap to Bill B.

Live well,

Where did you find the switch? I could only find the ones with wires...

I was on a mission to find an AC/Delco switch since this would be from the original OE manufacturer. The manufacturer's name is acutally molded into the plastic connector. AC/Delco has discontinued this part. From what I could gather, there were only a couple left in distribution that was being advertised. There may be more out there that have been stashed away. I seem to recall seeing other manufacturers offering a similar switch without the pigtail.
