FAQs
What vehicles is this reverse light switch compatible with?
This switch is designed for various Ford models. Please use the 'make and model tool' on our website to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle. It is also compatible with OEM references Ford 1610486 and 1610487.
What are the main specifications of this switch?
It features an M14 x 1.5 thread size, a 2-pin connector, requires a 22mm spanner for installation, and has a normally open (N.O.) circuit.
How do I know if I need to replace my reverse light switch?
If your reverse lights are not illuminating when you shift into reverse, or if they remain on constantly, the reverse light switch is a common component to check and potentially replace.
What is the part number for this Intermotor Reverse Light Switch?
The part number is MPN 54660.
Does this switch come with a warranty?
Information regarding warranty is typically provided by the seller at the time of purchase. Please refer to the seller's warranty policy.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, if you have basic mechanical knowledge and the correct tools (a 22mm spanner and jack stands), you can typically replace this switch yourself. However, if you are unsure, it is best to have it installed by a qualified mechanic.
What does 'Circuit N.O.' mean?
'Circuit N.O.' stands for Normally Open. This means the electrical circuit is open (not allowing current to flow) when the switch is not activated (i.e., when the gear is not in reverse). When you shift into reverse, the switch is pressed, closing the circuit and turning on the lights.
Troubleshooting
Reverse lights do not turn on after installation.
Verify the electrical connector is securely attached. Check the vehicle's fuses related to the reverse lights. Ensure the switch was tightened correctly and the transmission is fully engaged in reverse. Test the old switch (if possible) or consider a faulty bulb or wiring issue.
Reverse lights stay on even when not in reverse.
This indicates the switch is likely faulty and stuck in the 'closed' position. The switch may need to be replaced again. Ensure the correct part number was ordered and installed.
Difficulty threading the new switch into the transmission.
Ensure you are using the correct M14 x 1.5 thread size. Do not force the switch; always start threading by hand to prevent cross-threading. If the threads in the transmission are damaged, professional repair may be necessary.
