753 Backup alarm / lights

[jeff4605]

I have a Bobcat 1996 753 with backup alarm. I realized the prior owner removed the acuators on the micro switches for the backup alarm. I replaced the swithes, but the alarm is so faint you can only here it when the engine is off. the low, medium, loud switch on the alarm makes no difference. I also have no backup lights, bulbs and fuse are good, are these wired to the same micro switches? I really want backup lights, more then alarm. Thanks for any help

I would suspect a bad ground. I would disconnect the wiring and run jumper leads right to the battery. Pay attention to the positive and negative terminals. If its louder, you probably have a bad ground somewhere, or dirty connection.
