Bought the parts for a back-up light switch. Proceeded with installation. Removed the 900.1985 plug (index 2-01-23) and found contact bolt, part 710.1.21539.1 (index 2-01-17). This part has a 4.0 mm diameter pin that projects 9.0 mm from the body of the contact bolt. I discovered the circlip loose on the pin. The switch supplied by Swiss Army Vehicles will not install because of the inteferance of the pin. The contact bolt supplied by Swiss Army Vehicles is bored to accept the pin on the switch. I tried, and failed, to remove the original contact bolt by pulling on the pin. Is a transmission tear-down necessary to remove the old and install the new contact bolt? What am I missing?

I installed a 24v utility light facing backwards as a reverse/work light. I simply installed a plain light and ran a wire straight to the unused switch on the left dash (next to the flasher lights switch). The switch is meant for the aux. power accessories but it's now my revers light switch!
Cheap, simple, and you can turn it on any time you need light behind your rig!
