My reverse lights don't seem to work, and with the combination of a broken rear defroster and a rainy dark night they don't add up well. Lets just say I injured my baby the second day I got her, and cause $1,400 in damage. So now I am wondering how I would go about fixing them. Is there an actual wire on the transmission or is the wire next to the shifter? And what should I do after finding it?

Re: Reverse lights (nuemerik)
The connector is on top of the transmission and is actavated by the lincage through the cabel shifter also ck the fuse #14 I bleve (on my 90 any way)
also ck the bulbs. to get the rear cover off turn the screws 90 deg. and they should pop out

Put the jack stands away man.
The reverse light switch is on top of the tranny. Look straight down by the linkages, see that black plastic housing with the connector on it? That's it. Two bolts holding it on.
Depending on the car you should have a blakc plastic housing with a momentary push switch attached.
My car is a 90 G-60 with a manufacture date of 4/90. I could open up the switch portion of mine and clean the contacts, worked fine after.
PoweredbyG60's 90 has a date of 10/89, but has a newer switch. His screwed into the housing and was completely sealed. About $14 from the dealer.
Of course, check the fuse first like G60nut said, a lot easier.
Hope this helps.

Lemme add one thing - You can pull the plug off the reverse light switch, and insert a jumper wire between the two terminals on the plug. Key your car on, and walk to the rear - If your reverse lights are on, the switch is the culprit.

Re: Reverse lights (mpaster)
my dad has had this problem since we got his C, and mine just started doing it... only sometimes will the light go one. mainly when reversed is first shifted into. could the connection be loose and all i have to do is push it back together tightly??
