Full details
The Ci Ignition Reverse Light Switch (XRLS223) is an essential electrical component designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIY mechanics who need a precise, reliable replacement for faulty reverse light sensors. Engineered to match OEM specifications, this switch restores the critical safety function of activating your rear vehicle lights when shifting into reverse; however, users must verify compatibility against their specific vehicle's OEM reference numbers, such as Ford 1096415 or YC1T15520BB, as even minor discrepancies in thread size can prevent proper installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires access to the transmission housing, typically performed from underneath the vehicle. Ensure the ignition is switched off before beginning work. Use a 22 mm spanner to unscrew the old unit, being mindful of potential transmission fluid leakage—have a drip tray ready. When installing the new XRLS223, thread it in by hand initially to prevent cross-threading, then tighten with your spanner. Verify the electrical connection by clicking the 2-pin plug firmly into the switch until the locking tab engages. Periodically inspect the connector for signs of corrosion or moisture intrusion to maintain long-term performance.
