changed water pump, now neutral light doesn't work,

[rolson7560]

I put a new water pump in, and did something to disable the neutral light, and other gear positions. I have an 83 GL1100, Aspy w/digital dash. What the hell did I screw up?
Thank you for any help!!!

I think the fork that engages the switch indicator in the front cover isn't aligned right....unless the switch is unplugged?

Front cover would have to come off to align it.

Check your wiring - there are 2 wires that exit the front cover on the '83. One is for the neutral light and the other is for the overdrive light. They had to be disconnected to remove the cover...

The neutral switch is unique to '82 and '83 models. The position of the switch is critical.

Notice the position of the pin in the switch in relation to the bolts. Also, the short end of the pin points to the 2 o'clock position. This is important for ease of reassembly of the transmission cover and also to ensure the switch is in the correct position for proper operation.

EXCELLENT! I wish I'd have known this before putting the cover back on. No way now to fix it without removing the cover again...?
