Reverse Light Switch/Connection Options

[k21xfr]

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

for automatics the switch is also inside the trans, theres a wire harness with 6 wires that runs to the front of the trans and has a large gray or black connector. 2 heavy black and black/white stripe wires are for igniton (only start in park/nuetral) and the others are to tell the PCM what gear you've selected to perform the appropriate actions such as reverse lights (tho i think thats not PCM dependant) or to turn on/off the correct solenoids to select the proper gear (OD on/off, L, 2, D positions).

Reverse is outside the trans for an auto also.
It's that switch you are describing.

All models will be very similar for the manual trans.
Your UK one will be the same.

I believe it's either a 24 or 27 mm socket for the sensor.
Just unplug, stick the socket on, and turn off.
Thread new sensor in by hand to ensure it's threaded properly, then tighten with socket.
