Reverse Switch Wiring Help

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

I have just fitted my engine and thought that the wires on the engine loom would go straight onto the switch but switch has 2 spade terminals and i have a 2 pin plug on loom should there be a small loom from switch to plug?

sounds like you have the wrong loom for the switch, or vice-versa, later cars had a JPT plug, earlier ones had a brown two spade plug

The switch plungers are different lengths so you can't just put a BE3 switch into a BE1 gearbox or vice versa, you'll need to change the plug on the loom.

looks like you can get 2 different lenght ones with connector so will see what one i need as would rather not cut loom.
