anybody have an issue with reverse signal not working, fuse is good, wife and kids use the sled so I want to make sure someone doesn't leave it in reverse and take off and hit something. worked last week when I loaded sled but not working now.

check the alarm by putting power to it. if it works, it is the switch that is faulty if there is power at the switch.

The first thing I did with my last two sleds is disconnect the alarm.
You could look at the spot where I disconnected, there is a terminal on the switch that pops right off. Follow the lever down and you'll see it. Maybe it popped off of yours. If not, you're at least right there to test the switch and put juice to the alarm.

remove the right side paneling, follow the reverse lever, you will see when it is placed into reverse it pushes a little microswitch that has 2 terminals on the backside for the wiring. there should be 12v at one side to ground and nothing on the other side to ground when you are NOT in reverse, when you are in reverse you should have 12v to ground on both sides, and Zero volts across it if you are checking that way. make sure meter is set to dc voltage
