Reverse Lights

[noboost4you]

The reverse lights on my 97 RS don't work anymore. I thought maybe both bulbs were bad and replaced them. They still don't work.

Is there a fuse or something else I could check?

Thanks

Not sure what kind of transmission you have, but there's a reverse sensor on the turbo model manual transmission that is used of course to detect when you're in reverse. Maybe yours is bad, or the harness has a bad connection?

Yeah, could be the reverse sensor, but check the fuse first, just to be sure.

And that fuse would be located where?

Check in the fuseblock under your dash or under your hood.

Any more suggestions? Reverse lights still do not work :thumbdown

i'd check the wires going to the bulb housing with a multimeter to see if there are any shorts - make sure ground is grounded - make sure hots aren't grounded...

Driver's side, top of the transmission, should be a connector with 2 green wires- that's the backup light switch. Make sure the connector is on securely.

This is all out of the books, I've not had my hands on an N/T, so I may be mistaken. But give it a try.
