Backup light/safety neutral switch replacement 700 1991

More instructions in the FAQ but basically:
Remove ashtray.
Remove two screws in bottom of black console tray under parking brake handle (Torx screws on your later model 740)
Remove clip at front of tray under ashtray.
Adjust shifter and park brake handle position to allow you to pull tray up, forward, unhook, then back and twist to get over the shifter handle. The tray is split up front to allow this.
The switch is a black pie-wedge shaped thing right on the side of the shift lever. Probably 2 more Torx screws hold it in.

MAKE SURE CAR IS BLOCKED before taking shifter out of Park!
