ax15 reverse light switch
Hey guys,
the reverse light on an ax15 out of a 95...is it a ground switch or a positive switch? ie...to wire it up (stock harness was cut), would i just run a hot lead to one side, and the ground side out to the reverse lights (which would be powered by a + wire)?

Nope rear lighting is all grounded into the body. In 1999 the reverse switch just connects power from Junction Block fuse #10 to the backup lamps, I can't imagine there'd be much difference at all on earlier models.

So it is a positive switch then? Also, my Cherokee is a 90 used to be aw4 but I swapped it, so another question...could I run the wires off the switch to the nss

Not sure what you mean by a 'positive switch', it just closes a circuit. NSS uses the same circuit but also has a line into the TCU, at least on newer models.

im gonna try to do it through the nss, since a switch just makes continuity...since i had to jumper the nss for the ax15 swap, i figure it still would control the reverse lights operation as if the aw4 were still in it
