I want to connect backup lights to my Tbird and the Thunderbird parts suppliers indicate the that they are wired to the FM transmission neutral safety switch. I tested the two terminals for power with the car in reverse and the ignition on but got nothing. I don't have a schematic diagram of the wiring only the 1957 Ford workshop manual and I can't find it in there. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
