Default t-56 reverse question

hey guys, so I got the T-56 in my third gen and cant get reverse lights to work, is there something different about the wiring that's different when changing from a T-5 to a T-56? I knew the plug in was different but figured the wiring would be the same?

can I run wires directly fro the t-56 reverse switch to the lights? or is there something I can buy to make this work? any info or links to places that might help would be helpful thanks

Switch should be closed. Or open when in gear.

Check for 12v or ground to change at the plug with key-on. If you have this and you ground the two pins together and the lights work, replace the switch.

T5 switch fits if you have the old one and your trans happens to have a non - Fbody switch. There are others with diff. plugs.
