On a 65 it's on the LH side of the box near the front. Graham

Yep, check the plug on left side of the transmission tunnel (that's where mine was anyway) this plug also has the overdrive connections. My reversing lights weren't working either but the overdrive was, I have managed to pull the plug through into the engine bay and I've cable tied it there to try to keep it clean.

Peter remember there is also a multi plug at the left side of the transmition tunnel that can also cause all manners of problems check that out to. The problem with a 65 is the inhibiter/ reverse switch mounted on the side of the box is megabucks so before you condem the switch check out all the other possibilities first. Check in before you spend any money there may be another solution. Graham

I had a word with Paddocks yesterday its £70 odd pounds plus vat and delivery I will look at the multi pin connector I think I have found it it has 2 greens and a cream red ? and the cables run near the starter motor cables.

Take the 2 green wires off the switch and join them together and make sure the rest of the reverse circuit is ok. you can also use a multimeter to check out the switch. Graham
