The top micro switch is just for the buzzer but not sure what the lower (driver side) micro is for?
Your G8-e should have a JF3 f/r switch assy. At home my parts CD shows J41 micro switchs for "reverse buzzer" and "neutral lock out" and are available seperatly from the switch assy, but for some reason my mind tells me you have "reed" switches and are now available seperatly If you can (with a volt meter/continuity) check the lower micro switch, there should be continuity in forward and reverse, not in neutral. Can you give a serial# or a picture? Have you tried "lubeing" your charger receptical "charge lock (white) push button? Just a thought. Later Dave
