Reversing Lights

[me_011]

Hi just wondering what would cause both reverse light to not work, i have checked the fuse and its not the globes just wondering what else it coild be. thanks

reverse switch around gearstick playing up is probably the most likely culprit. give the stick a wiggle while its in reverse and see if the lights come on, i know on mine, i gotta push the stick right down in reverse for lights to work.

Same prob. here. I move bar toward neutral and reverse lights come on. Probably switch needs adj. or someth.

Thats more then likely your problem. I adjusted mine and now works fine.

Yeah I have the same prob. All i have to do is push the shifter right down when in reverse and they come on

How did you fix it?

clean the switch, get a new switch, adjust the switch position

I would like to know too. Mine does it. I'll put it into reverse and the lights don't work, but i pull it down a bit more and it clicks and the lights come on. I looked for the switch under the console but had no idea where it was or what it looked like either. Would be a good how-to thread if someone could do it cos it sounds like a common problem.

under plastic near ashtray, its a black one, its next to the base of the shifter. just look for wires near shifter and u should find it
