It suddenly occurred to me to check my reverse light switch, and so I checked the resistance between the two contacts in and out of reverse - both showed high resistance. I unscrewed the switch and tried again pushing the plunger by hand, and again, I got a high resistance for both settings. I pulled the other switch (seatbelt related) and got the same result, which seems a bit odd - both switches failed? I am the first to admit that my electrical skills are lacking, so before I order a new switch I thought I would check with you guys!
Any thoughts? Am I testing the right way, or am I an idiot?
If both switches are bad, is there any reason to replace the seatbelt one (it's a '75 TR6)? I bought new seatbelts which don't have the sensors anyway, so I don't plan to hook up any seatbelt wiring, and I think it was only '74 cars with this switch required for the starter to operate, but as always I am prepared to be told I am wrong.
Cheers
