Could be blubs burntout,fuse blown or a bad relay switch. If that's not problem. Then could be switch on the shifter or on transmission depends on year of car. when you shift to reverse it should trigger switch for backup lights.Hope this helps.
There is a switch on the shifter or trans that turns on the lights when the vehicle is placed in reverse, it is out of adjustment or faulty. And don't forget the bulbs or fuses as a cause.
get a friend to check them when u have the can in reverse.. or dont start the car and put it in revers and check them urself
check nutral safety switch
Either the front or rear bulb is burnt out.
Defective reverse light switch.
Brake lights and turn signals are on a separate circuit from the tail lights. Tail lights are on the same circuit with the dashboard lights. If the dashboard lights aren't working either, check the fuse. If they ARE working, check the headlight switch.
On my 98 A4 1.8T I had the same problem. The problem was the entire headlight switch on the stearing column went bad. I dont know if the headlight switch has anything to do with the reverse lights but from my own experience the reverse light problem is caused by thhe reverse light switch which is in the gearbox. I got a price of
i dont believe you can do that, unless you take out the fuse that makes the lights come on automatically
Yes, though they arent imediately obvious as they are hidden by a red tint. Turn on ignition so the dash lights up, but dont start the engine, put the gearstick in reverse and walk round back of the car. voila.
Had my headlamps replaced but auto running lights dont come on now..figures it might be a fuse?
The right brake light does not work on 1999 Ford Windstar. Tail lights and blinking light works. Changed bulb more than once, changed the plug in where the bulb goes but it still does not work. The tag lights are not working either.
if i read that right lol all cars do that that is just the way they are set up if ur lights arent on your brake light dont need to be on hell as long as someone sees your reverse lights ur fine but anyways all cars do that
