I believe I need to replace my reverse light switch. The bulbs are fine, and when I jumper out the switch, they come on fine. I am up for other options of they are out there. Looking on RA, I see three switches for my truck ranging from 12ish dollars for one for a 5 speed a3500 trans, to 35.00 for one saying it fits a nv4500 , to 40ish for one that goes in an a4500 trans. Am I missing something on these? I do not recognize a3500 or a4500 as trans models. Please advise.

If it really is a 35 to 40 dollar switch, I will probably wire in a manual toggle and mount it to the shifter. Thanks all.

The middle and bottom switch is the one you want.
Standard LS285 is the number.
Airtex Wells just has the wrong prefix on the description.

Thank you. Wow.

Before you replace the switch, take the old one out, depress the spring loaded ball, squirt some contact cleaner into the switch. Then rotate the body of the switch around a few times. My original on my 2002 didn't work so I bought a new one for $65.00. Read about that trick and now the old one works.

Mine went out on my NV5600, 27 bucks from a guy in MT. The old one still makes contact and works, but the ball isn't getting pushed in far enough I believe....

They aren't cheap!

I don't know the part no. but get one from a chevy. Dodge wanted $6X for a switch and I get the switch from Chevy for $34 I believe.

Called Chevy and got a reverse switch for 96 3500 Chevy w/ nv4500. Same switch. Same transmission.

I didn't even take it all the way out - just unplugged the electric connector and shot some lithium grease in it. please don;t ask, it is what I had. It started working all the same.
