[DeTomaso] which gear to park in?

[Doug Braun]

John,

	It looks like your reverse switch may be out of adjustment too because your
backup lights were on while you were pulling out of Park Place Motors after
the Panteras Northwest meeting last night.

     It sounds like your reverse switch is hooked up to a hot wire.  I guess
you need to find a keyed circuit if you want to change it?
