Does any on have a picture or diagram on how the backup light switch is mechanically hookup to  the steering column. I have the wire but not the switch or bracket to hold the switch and where does it fit. Thanks jerry

Sorry forgot to say it is a 1955 Ford Victoria with automatic transmission. Thanks jerry

.
The Backup Light Switch is also the Neutral Start Switch. You should have 4 Wires although I assume someone has plugged the 2 Wires for neutral Start together allowing it to be started in any Gearshift Position? The Switch mounts at the bottom of steering Column just above the Box. There is a Bracket that looks like a Muffler Clamp which has two screw Holes to mount the Switch. These Pictures show the One I am using on mine. It is a '57 Switch that retrofits and allows starting in Park and Neutral. Just requires changing one Terminal on end of Wire. .Otherwise it is the same as your '55.

Original 55-56 Type Switch.

  

Ok thanks I see how that goes and I can get one. The one I have Is in the picture enclosed and did not see how they hookup. Thanks Jerry

That Switch is for Standard Transmission. Goes on the Transmission.

  

That would be a backup light switch for a standard shift car.  Standard shifts don't have neutral start switches.  It looks a lot like a switch offered by Hurst to be used when the shifter was moved from column to floor shift.
