From what I remember there are TWO 2-wire connectors that go to the transmission. One goes to the top of the trans (really hard to get to unless you've done a body lift which would give you more room around the top of the transmission), the other to the side. One of these "closes" when you are in 5th gear (the computer wants to know), the other "closes" when you are in reverse. I'm sorry, I don't remember which is which. Both pairs of wires go from the transmission to the front of the firewall, and plug in (with round barrel type connectors about the diameter of a nickel) to the rest of the wiring harness right near the distributer on the back of the engine. I think when my backup light sensor gave up the ghost I just wired a ground through a switch on my dash and then to the wiring at the firewall...so when I wanted the backup lights to turn on I'd throw the switch on the dash: That would in turn "ground out" the circuit the same way the transmission switch would, and would complete the backup light circuits so they would light up. I don't have a wiring diagram with me offhand to tell you which wires are which, but I could probably dig one up from my archives if you can't find the info out any other way. Oh yeah, I don't think there was a 'relay' involved at all...but the stock backup lights are a pretty light draw and a relay really isn't needed. And if you do wire in your own switch remember two more things: Cops LOVE to write up tickets for driving down the road with white lights showing to the rear, and since you will be "sending ground" instead of "sending 12 volts" through the switch getting one that "lights" when activated really won't work. (OK OK I know you aren't really "sending ground", you are just completing an already 'hot' circuit to ground...but if you are knowledgeable enough to complain about me saying "sending ground" then you probably know what I mean anyway.) Good luck! Paul prhkgh@comcast.net former owner of 4 samurai's former telephone installer, thousands of hours working low voltage.
1. sensor to tell the computer when you were driving in 5th gear. 2. sensor to turn on the backup lights when you were in reverse. Also, there are wires going to your transfer case, that light up the '4wd' light to show when you are in 4WD rather than 2WD, IIRC. Paul H.
On a 1993 Suzuki Sidekick, the backup light switch is typically located on the transmission. To access it, you'll need to raise the vehicle and locate the switch near the rear of the transmission case, where the shift lever connects. Disconnect the wiring harness from the switch, and then remove the switch using the appropriate tools for your vehicle. Always ensure to follow safety precautions when working under the vehicle.

The backup sensors are located in the rear bumper. The four circles on the bumper.
They are usually located down on the side of the transmission.
The backup light switch is located on the side of the transmission. It has two wires coming off of it but they are probably covered in wire wrap.
The fuse for the overdrive trans and backup lamps is a 10 amp fuse located in position number 27. If it is blown you will also have no backup lights.

On a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick 4X4 with an automatic transmission, the backup light switch is typically located on the transmission itself. To access it, you'll need to raise the vehicle safely and remove any undercarriage covers if present. The switch is usually mounted on the transmission housing near the gear selector linkage; you may need to disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the switch to replace it if necessary. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific details and procedures.
