Back-up lights

[claude]

My back up lights don't work. I checked the bulbs ant the wires at the back but don't know where to look after that....

maybe fuses?

Mine had a dead switch. Check that.

[claude]

there is no fuses but where is the switch?

The backup lights get their power through the "backup" switch located on the tranny. Check the electrical system diagram posted in the shop manual available on this web site for details. I had the same problem. It was a little corrosion on the wire connector that attached to the switch. Perhaps the same problem affects your MX-3. Hope this helps.

sorry but can't find that with the diagram can you remember where it is on the tranny?

hey... is there anybody out there ?

When you are standing in front of the car, look down past the radiator in the direction of the engine/tranny. About 12 inches (guessing)right of center of the car on the front side of the tranny is the backup switch.<P>Hope this gets you in the general area and perhaps it's only a loose wire or such.<P>Stan
