So, I did the AT/MT swap a few months ago and got most everything working, but the reverse light switch I can't seem to figure out.

I'm pretty sure this is a wiring issue as I have verified that the lights turn on via the switch wired and plugged in by pushing the ball switch in manually, but when I put the transmission into reverse it doesn't seem to want to activate the switch. I have tried both the switches I have and manually pushed the ball in to activate the lights, but as soon as I have it in the transmission it will not work. I even looked down in the hole and verified that the bar that is supposed to activate the switch is moving into place.

Anyone every run into this before or have any suggestions? Side note, I am pretty sure I got it to work once when i took the switch out and then back in while the car was already in reverse, but it doesn't seem want to want to activate it anymore.

I'm going to play with it again this next couple of days as I need to get it working so I can get my car inspected :-)
