Reverse & Differential Lock Switch is a plunger-operated switch used in the manual gearbox and transfer box electrical circuits.

The same switch serves two roles. Screwed into the LT77 gearbox it closes the reverse lamp circuit when reverse gear is selected; fitted to the LT230 transfer box it operates the differential lock warning lamp when the centre differential is locked. It is actuated mechanically by the selector and signals the lamp circuit on engagement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PRC2911 switch and what does it do?

The PRC2911 is a plunger-operated switch with two roles. In the LT77 gearbox it closes the reverse lamp circuit when reverse is selected; in the LT230 transfer box it operates the differential lock warning lamp when the centre diff is locked. It's actuated mechanically by the selector.

Is the reverse switch the same part as the diff lock switch?

Yes, the reverse lamp switch and the differential lock switch are the same part. Screwed into the LT77 gearbox it works the reverse lights; fitted to the LT230 transfer box it works the diff-lock warning lamp. One switch covers both jobs.

Which vehicles fit the PRC2911 switch?

The PRC2911 switch fits the Defender (1986-2006), Discovery 1 (1989-1998), Discovery 2 (1998-2004), and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994). On the Classic it's up to VIN HA610293 for 1986-1991 and from JA610294 for 1992-1994.

What are the signs this switch has failed?

A failed switch typically shows as reverse lights that don't come on, or a differential lock warning lamp that stays off or stays lit when it shouldn't. Because it's mechanically plunger-operated, check the contact and threads when symptoms appear.
