Back up light switch Location
Working on my '63 three speed manual monza ,getting all the lights to work and am unsure as to the location of the back up light switch. I read that it is in the tunnel , but where in the tunnel?? Is it in the rear near the engine, or in the front under the driver? Thanx in advance.

Re: Back up light switch Location
it is in the tunnel. it is not at the rear but more toward the front. Take off the long tunnel pan under the car to access it.

Be sure to place the car safely on jack stands to permit you access to the tunnel that runs down the center of the vehicle.
See 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Shop Manual - Section 8 - Electrical Systems, page 8-44 for the schematic wiring diagram, and page 8-55 for the BACK-UP LAMP SWITCH REPLACEMENT (3-SPEED ONLY)
1962-1963 Supplement - Chevrolet Corvair Shop Manual - Section 8 - Electrical Systems has a much -better schematic diagram that includes the backup switch.
