Subject:Reverse light not adjusted correct
From:Matthew Pollard

Good day-
Now that my bus is purring like my wife's two kittens (note: her kittens,
not mine.) it is time to start to look at the other little things here and
there.  Sort of like Maslo's Heirachy of Needs, but translated to our
wonderful busses.

Now the question:  My reverse light only turns on if i put it in reverse
and then pull it out a tad.  I am trying to save myself having to crawl
around in my muddy driveway (1.35" of rain yesterday in Moscow ID) more
than once.  Is there an adjustment on that switch or is it a black box
thingee that does it's duty in the transaxle without any anjustable
features.  Or is this thing starting to kick the bucket? At least i know
if it dies it won't leave me stranded in the middle of backwoods Idaho!

Thanks,
Matthew
