rp2813 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Greetings all -- I just joined USMB due to the increasingly low activity level on Baja-focused Scoobytruck site forum. I need to replace the back-up lamps switch on my 2003 Baja but have not found any useful information on the process through on-line posts (even after doing a search here) or videos. My Chilton repair manual is little help with regard to this job. I swear I had seen something on this repair in the past, and it didn't seem that difficult. I was planning to do it myself. The reason I'm asking for advice is because I recently brought my Baja to the dealership for the Takata air bag recall and asked them to check the switch. They confirmed it was bad and gave me a quote for the work that included 1.5 hours of labor. I didn't think this job was so complicated as to require that amount of time to perform it. Can anyone advise me, or steer me to a site or video that speaks to this repair? Thanks, Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Manual trans is a 5 minute fix......auto trans it might take 10. 1.5 hours is rediculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rp2813 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Thanks, and yes, it's a manual trans. I swear I saw pictures on this operation somewhere and it appeared that the only tricky part was fishing the wires up and over the housing, otherwise it was a quick repair. This is why I was skeptical of the 1.5 hour labor quote. Thanks for confirming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
