So I checked the connector to the backup sensor in the tranny, and checked the fuse, everything looks good and still no backup lights or "R" on the dash. So I guess the sensor is bad?

Jump the pins with a wire and look for the reverse lights. That'll confirm it.

That's called being a naturalized citizen or immigrant. My parents immigrated. I'm first gen. Hungarian. Your kid will be first gen.

Yep. Jumped and have backup lights. Man that switch looks hard to get to from under the car.

First toyota/Subaru failure at 5 years 23k miles.

Go super excited as I found some billet toggles that might work for my dash panel project...

Sadly after a half hour of measurements it seems they are about 1/2" too tall to work without covering the HVAC display. I could possibly cut the toggle bases down and then grind, sand and smooth all them but, it is way too much work required when each switch is $90 USD. If all else fails I'll shoot them a message to see about custom work I guess.

The search goes on.

I don't remember just how much I had to remove before I could pull down on the rear extension enough to get at it. I think it was just the flexible coupling between the over and front pipes.

Worst backup light switch design ever!

Did you and @Ultramaroon get your oximeters?

If so, how do they work.

I received mine and it works good, shows I usually have from 95 to 98% whatevers.

Yeah. We got ours. It has a neat display. I get about the same whatevers.
