Reverse switch bad?

    I'm trying to figure out why the PO has the reverse switch disconnected. I found the reverse switch on top of the T14 case. I put 12 volts to one side and read 2 volts on the other in reverse. Does this mean the switch is shot?
    Thanks

    Mine currently has a toggle switch installed, but why wouldn't I want to get the original setup back in order?

    Thanks everyone. The NAPA part was plug and play. Works as new now.
