Hey People!

I seem to be having problems with my reverse lights!

When I put the car into reverse they only work sometimes and are abit tempremental.

I assumed the issue was bulb related & thus, I've tried replacing the bulbs but this hasn't made any difference.

The only other things I can think of are, firstly, to replace the reverse light switch!?.
Or maybe there is a bad earth somewhere that I need to repair!?

However, I have been told that the reverse light switch rarely fail.

In any case, I need some info on where the reverse light switch is located & how to repair it. If anyone has had the same issues, please feel free to post any advice relating to the issue.

Also, Any chance of pictures being posted, so I can get a good idea as to where the switch is?

Thanks

hope you found it. if not here's a pic for reference.

the space between the airbox and the distributor looks right down at the tranny and the switch...
the little two pin switch that the bright red wires lead to is your reverse light switch.
you'll probably have an actual clip holding those wires into the switch, mine is just Dustin's (Batman) ghetto rigged connection smile.gif
