My reverse lights dont work... I checked the bulbs, and the fuses and they are fine (actually there was no fuse so i put one in..).
Any thing else i can check?


Also my fog lights do not work.
The fuse in the engine bay is fine.
When I bought the car the drivers side light did work, but than few months ago I noticed that none work now, could it just be the bulbs?

Thanks.:thumb:
 
Check the plug. It's on top of the tranny. If the tranny was dropped recently, it's an easy plug to forget. I've done it.
 
Did you replace the bulbs or are you just looking at them and assuming they are ok? You might want to go out and spend the 2 dollars and replace them, see what happens. The plug above the tranny is a good thing to check as well (said above) it is small and could have worked itself loose, or was just never plugged in. Are you sure you put the right fuse in the location? As in did you possibly put a 10A fuse in a 30A location because that could also lead to problems.
 
Put the fuse in the right spot (according to the talon user manual... and 10A like it said)
I actually did replace the bulbs stil nothing.

I think it may be the plug thing as I did have a new clutch put in last summer... and i dont think it worked since then... Ill check it tomorrow :)

The plug is on the tranny at the top? or just above it?

Thanks again.
 
wow... thats going to be a real pain to get to....
Thanks again :D
 
funny, i had this EXACT problem, word for word.

mine resulted from a girl owning it before me, and her 'know it all boyfriend' installing aftermarket lights...pretty sure he disconnected or left something unplugged in the proces...i've just been too lazy to fix it :coy:
