Reverse lights.

    Well... after much ado I have finally removed the reverse light switch
from my QSW only, to my dismay, to find that it is good!!  Does anybody have
any ideas where to look next?  I am going to peruse the Bentley manual for a
bit.  It was an interesting experience to get the blasted thing out too.
Here's how I plan to go about next time, if there is a next time:
            Buy a switch and throttle body base gasket ahead of time.
            Remove the throttle body (because my hands and arms are too big
to fit down there).
            Remove the battery (so I can see down there sort of).
            Pull the electrical connections off by hand.
            Remove the old switch with a 3/8" drive 22mm (7/8") deep socket,
u-joint, 6" extension, and ratchet or breaker bar.
            Celebrate by drinking many "brown beers", a.k.a. Guinness.
            Installation is the reverse of removal.
            Your mileage may vary.
