Sounds like you installed the new switch without the spacer-washer.

Subject: Reverse lights going crazy

I recently decided to replace my reverse light switch on the drivers side of
my transmission, ('84 manual westy).  The symptom I was chasing was a
flickering of the reverse lights when in reverse. After replacing the
switch, the reverse lights now come on "almost" all the time no matter what
gear I'm in.  A friend suggested I replace the crimp connectors that connect
to the two contacts on the switch. Did that. No change. What gives?  Anybody
ever seen this?
