There are three prongs on it, yes. My reverse lights didn't come on in my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 46RE transmission (auto), so after some testing, I discovered it was the nuetral/backup. I've had it for about two years and have had no issues with it.
For my 2001 Dodge 2500, I just ordered this 3 plug. stated that it would be appropriate. Also, a guy just said that three plugs are for automatic transmissions. He, on the other hand, has no idea what he's on about. Mine is a fully automatic machine. It requires a two-prong plug as well. Now I must return these three plugs. I'm assuming it's for a user guide.
I spent a significant amount of time looking for one, but nothing convinced me 100 to be exactly the same. Finally, I was able to resolve my connector issue by removing the rubber seal from the connector's interior. It's a small rubber piece with a square-shaped hole. like the connector itself, but with a different shape. When I unplugged it, it frequently came out of the connector. The connector turned out to be deformed and acting as a spacer, preventing the connector from fully seating and leading me to believe there was a problem with the switch or connector wiring. Check to see if the seal is pushing the connector out, as mine did. I hope you find this information useful.
Yes, it appears to be the case. There are a lot of similarities in the transmissions. It also should, according to the interchangeability chart. I hope this has been of assistance to you.

After my truck's original switch failed, I purchased two of these. When I compared it to the original, the first one fell apart in my hands, so I went back and got a replacement. My reverse lights stopped working again after about four months with the second one. I figured out what was causing the issue at long last. I discovered that the issue was caused by a short in the switch. Strangely, as soon as I reinstalled it until I ordered a THIRD switch, my transmission broke in half again. I was fortunate enough to be able to remove it and cobble together a temporary patch in the hole until I could locate a suitable replacement.
This switch was purchased to replace the reverse lights on my vehicle. I discovered that the problem was with the switch when they wouldn't turn on. The transmission shift linkage and cooler lines were in the way, making it difficult to remove the old one. br>br> In order to remove the connector, you'll need a 1" deep well socket that fits over it. br>br>In terms of fit and function, this switch is the same as the one that came with my car. My reverse lights were working properly again after I replaced the switch.
On my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 automatic, the part was a direct replacement. It fixed the problem with my reverse lights, as well as the problem with the truck trying to start in any gear. Due to the location and the fact that the only large enough socket I had was an impact socket, and the wall was thick enough that getting the socket on far enough to loosen the old and install the new was difficult.
My Jeep Grand Cherokee needed to be replaced, and this was the perfect fit. The original switch had been damaged, and it was leaking transmission fluid at a rate of about a quart per hour, with no backup lights. To remove and replace a 1" 6pt thin wall socket, use a 1" 6pt thin wall socket. I would strongly suggest it.
It really works. I had to wiggle my shifter all over the place to get my backup lights to turn on and the camera to turn on. Now it works perfectly every time. You will need a ratchet and a 1" deepwell socket. It took about 3 minutes to replace, and when I pulled the old one out, only about a tablespoon of fluid came out.
No one warned me that installing this on my 2000 Dodge Durango would result in it spraying transmission fluid out like a hose. But it appears to be a factory-direct replacement. My reverse lights were not turning on, and I was able to solve the problem. The black seal depicted in the illustration was missing from mine.
Due to the shifter linkage bracket, a very thin walled 1in socket was required for installation in my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which caused no reverse lights. br>br>I ground down a regular socket to a size that would fit between the sensor and the bracket. br>br>Alternatively, a crow's foot could be used, but it would need to be repositioned.
After I figured out how to remove the harness's plastic cover, it was a quick and painless installation.
