I am repairing a Lionel 238E and I completely rebuilt the E Unit and I could get it to enter forward and neutral but it did not run in reverse so I put another E Unit in the locomotive and I am having the same issue. It goes forward and neutral but no reverse. What am i doing wrong?? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the reply on one side of the E Unit switch the wire is as indicated. on the side that is labeled ground where should that wire go I have it as an empty post. Thanks again

That lever is riveted to the frame of the E-Unit, which is affixed to the parallel plates of the motor - chassis ground - and as such is common to the field laminations and bulb grounds.
