What could cause the back-up lights to fail on a Vauxhall Vectra?

Possibly both bulbs blown but unlikely.Probable cause is faulty reverse lamp switch.Locate this on the gearbox,possibly just under the clutch arm.Looks like a chunky brass nut with a wiring plug.Remove the plug and bridge the two connectors,if reverse lamps come on when ignition switched on,then your switch is faulty.Unscrew it and try cleaning it,or replace it.Some gearbox oil may be lost depending on switch position.

Can a faulty crankshaft sensor in your vauxhall vectra be the cause or your gages going of all the time while the engine is still running?

Where is the fuse located for the taillight on a vauxhall vectra?
I can't remember, but the most common cause of failure is the switch on the tailgate, not the fuse.
Vauxhall Vectra why fan is working non stop?
Chances are the TCS temprature coolant sensor has gone faulty. This will cause the cooling fan to run witha cold engine
What could cause the bottom brake lights on 1998 Explorer to be out while the dash lights and backup lights work?
Blown fuse or defective brake light switch.
What would cause the fuse for the brake lights to blow every time you put the car in drive?
Check the circuitry to the backup lights. The same fused circuit is probably used for both brake lights and backup lights. As you go past Reverse, the backup light probably is turned on briefly, causing the fuse to blow. It's just a thought, but I'd think it worth checking.
What can cause the backup lights not to work on a 1997 Dodge Avenger after the switch has been replaced?
Defective switch, switch not adjusted, blown fuse
Why does the steering fluid light come on vauxhall vectra 52 plate?
The most likely cause is a fault with the fluid level sensor. The sensor was removed from production about 6 months after production started, as all cars had the light coming on. If the level is Ok, your local Vauxhall dealer can probably reprogram the steering system to "ignore" the sensor.
You have just changed the temperature sender unit but the temperature still rises any idea not losing any water vauxhall vectra 1998 sri 60.000?
The most common cause for the water temperature to rise is a nonworking thermostat. Another common cause is a nonworking water pump.
How do you replace the backup switch on a 1989 Jeep Cherokee or what else could be the cause of intermittent backup lights?
intermitten problems are the worst to figure out i would first start by changing the bulbs then i would change the wiring harness. i know i had a car that when the tail lights were on the blinkers wouldn't work and it turned out to be a short in the harness.

Backup lights do not work but brake lights work Honda crv?
Backup Lights do not workThe backup lights are on a separate circuit from the brake lights and each use a separate dedicated switch to control when each group of lights turn on and off.The type and location of the backup light switch depends on the make, model, and year of production of a vehicle, and since I'm not familiar with your vehicle, this answer of necessity will be generic in nature.The backup light switch is usually mounted either within the dashboard or, in the engine compartment. In either case, it will be mounted directly adjacent to a moving part of the gear shift mechanism. Thus when the transmission is shifted into reverse, the moving linkage will move the switch, turning the backup lights on.However, on many later model vehicles, the backup light switch may be mounted by screwing into the side of the transmission so that when the transmission is shifted into reverse, the backup lights are turned on.In the case of the switch mounted in the dashboard area or engine compartment and working off of the movement of the transmission shift linkage, the cause of failure to operate could be:Switch is not properly adjusted [very common].A connector or wire in the circuit has become disconnected, cut or broken [slightly less common].The switch itself could be defective [not very common].These same causes are true for brake light switches mounted into the side of a transmission, except that I'm not aware of them being adjustable and thus if the switch is the cause it's defective and replacement of the switch is required.
