Reverse lights

Post by Urbanconcept »

My reverse lights are not functioning. I have replaced the swtich on the transmission and they are still not working (the wire had detached from the old switch after swapping the transmission). All other lights in the taillights are working. I even swapped in a completely different harness to test if that was the problem. Even with another harness and a stock bulb it still didn't work. I've even tried swapping the LED light I had wired in as my reverse light. No luck there either.

Is there a fuse in the engine bay for the reverse lights? Or one inside the car?

Nope, I'm not using any kind of bulb and I made sure that when I swapped the harness the bulb I used was in working order.
