I need some help with this repair! The truck listed above is a C1500.
No reverse lights, bulbs good, fuses good, so I'm going to change the park/neutral safety switch located at the bottom of the steering column. However, I found the problem before removing the old switch. Someone removed the wire harness for the reverse lights. I don't see the harness hanging anywhere. Pretty sure the harness that is connected isn't wired correctly as well (blue and green)! So, I need to know the wire colors for both wire harnesses for the correct installation. SOS

Hi,

The wires on an automatic will both be purple. A manual transmission is different at the harness but changes to purple after the switch.

I attached a schematic below of the starting circuit. It contains the wires you refer to. Here is a link you may find helpful when testing:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
