You didn't state weather it was an Automatic or Manual transmission. Well any way they are both on the transmission. Manual transmission has a separate switch for the backup lights the automatic is built into the neutral safety switch on the transmission. Automatic switch is about $50.00. Manual switch is about $10.00. Hope you have a manual it is a lot cheaper.
If you have an automatic transmission it is on top of he steering column just before it goes through the firewall. If you have a manual transmission it is on the transmission.
stands for over drive off ( lights up when the over drive feature for the automatic transmission has been switched off ) On my 1995 Ford Explorer the overdrive control switch is on the end of the gear selector lever on the steering column
Automatic transmission cars also have what is called "creep" while the engine is running and the selector is in "D" for drive or another gear, the car will creep along even if your foot is not on the accelerator. Be prepared for that, keep your foot on the brake when shifting from park/neutral into a driving gear or it will lurch a little. Keep your foot on the brake at traffic lights etc.
after starting engine with automatic transmission won't shift into reverse ?
Check to see if the P is lit on the insrument panel PRNDL indicator if not it is the selector switch on the side of the shifter Also check if you have brake lights if not it is the brake light switch
Make sure brake lights are working - shift interlock is common to this circuit
hello - possibly a poorly adjusted/stretched/worn bushs (if you are lucky) console gearshifter to trans gear selector cable:there is an adjustment procedure to follow for this.It should also select reverse ok at the correct reverse position,with back-up lights lighting too,as a quick preliminary check.
yes but you have to do numerous other stuff like wire reverse lights to the tranny. change the driveline, and add clutch pedal, there is a write up how to do it if you search s13 5 speed swap.
if someone has been working on your transmission, then they might have reassembled it incorrectly, or the switch is bad in the transmission. either way, that is the only place that the reverse lights could be trigggered from. take it to a transmission shop would be my suggestion. maybe someone put the tailight sockets in the backup holes
I believe you pull the selector knob ( park lights , headlights etc ) towards you
Eatx stands for electronic automatic transmission controller the eatx relay provides power for the controller and the backup eatx relay is for the backup lights.
