67 Coronet automatic. Should the back up lights have power with just the key on and the selector in reverse?
Backup lights?

To answer my own question, yes. What I'm missing is the pin that actuates the column selector switch. I don't know how long it's been missing. 2880948 is the part number. Does anybody have their column out and can post a picture of what this pin looks like. I don't know if I'll find one anywhere. I can probably make one if I knew what it looked like.

Upon further inspection I found out the part missing is made from unobtainium. I did find some info about how to fix it. I think I can replace it with a bolt. I'll have to pull the column to get to it.

your reverse/neutral safety switch should be mounted not on the column , but on the transmission. should have 3 pins. the middle pin is for neutral safety and goes to the starter relay....the end 2 pins are for the backup lights...one gets power with "key on"....and the other goes to the actual back up lights ( either pin,,,,it dont matter ) and grounds to the body just by mounting it!

just read this, and yes it is a plastic stud that slips on the selector shaft. Break easy for sure. I have one in stash, but it can be faked like I suspect you have figured.

Tpodwdog, the three pin neutral safety switch didn't start till 1969. Before that there was a separate reverse switch. Found out the hard way after fixing the reverse switch in my '68 like copper is doing with his '67, and then a month later spending 20 minutes and 20 swear words later looking for the switch on my '69RR..lol

Yep faked it with a bolt 1/4-28. Tapped the hole as best I could and cut a bolt head offhand threaded it in. Need a new coupling seal before I put the column back in. Then when I do that just a final adjustment on the switch and I should be good to go. Then everything elecctrical will work.
well thats strange.. i just fixxed my back up lights and neutral safety switch on my 1966 Belvedere II, and it has the 3 pins just as i described.....now everything works as it should! maybe Dodge is a bit different ?????

sure that tranny is a 66? Maybe the 66 column switch was just bipassed when the newer 727 was installed?

Ok, put the switch in without the column. Getting power to both backup lights. Right on lights up. Left one doesn't. Found a break in the wire. Repaired it. Test light to the socket lights up. Bulb won't. New Chinese 1156 bulbs. Both work in the right side. Scratching my head!!

Looks like your BL are a violet wire going to the console connector
