No reverse lights. New bulbs, but no lights.

Uthinkso · 10-01-2012, 09:23 PM

I changed the bulbs in the reverse lights today, but still no light. I checked fuses and everything is good there. Not like the reverse lights have their own circuit anyway.

Had anybody had this problem?

If you have a manual transmission then it is most likley the reverse switch on the top of the transmission.

It's pretty easy to replace, too! Just use a 22mm wrench or long socket.

Just replaced mine today! Now it works!

Thank you for that. Having just did the shift cables on this car I knew where it was, but a little video from richpin never hurts.
