Reverse Light Meltdown

[Wolves]

ps: it was allready there when i got the car

jeezus never heard of that happening before.
Might have to replace the fuse box coz froim the sound of it it's beyond rooted

its from having a problem and the fuse didnt blow. i would get the 2 wires from the back of the fuse box and join them with an inline fuse holder probably $5 from supercheap or repco etc.

 

[Wolves]

rooted is the word. yeah i was thinking a new bow, but how much u reckon that'll cost to buy and install?

 

[Wolves]

so what 2 wires do i join?

If it was there when you got the car then it should have been thru a roadworthy check which should have included checking the reverse lights.....however, if not then maybe whoever had a 50amp fuse where a 10amp fuse should go has 'possibly' used one of the other spare fuse positions to bypass the damage. Do the reverse lights work??

 

[Wolves]

nope, yeah i think i got a bit of a dodgey r/w

If you can live without reversing lights then don't worry. One day in the future when you've nothing to do maybe just have a look at the wiring and figure out what is wrong.

nah i don't need them at all, i know the feel of most commodores, i just wanted my car to be in top condition, and if i ever sell it it'd be better to have everything going but oh we'll... when it be done, it will be done. thanks

There will be 2 wires at the back of the fuse panel. There will be 1 on each side of the fuse. Just use them and put a new fuse holder between them.
