Neutral safety switch and back up light. NSS should have continuity in park and neutral and back up should only have continuity in reverse.

Those connections on the switch are placed so you can't mixs up the connectors. So if you look at your harness you'll know where each connector goes. PPL wires are for the neutral safety, and I think LT green and DR green is for back up.

Re: Steerin column switch

FYI, the two terminals on the left are for the back-up lights. Factory wire colors are light green/dark green.

The two terminals on the right are for neutral safety. Factory wire colors are purple/purple.
