Where is the reverse lights switch on 2002?

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.

Probably the reverse switch is bad or out of alignment. You'll need a manual to find the reverse switch. It'll be somewhere on the shifter, on the transmission, or possibly somewhere in between.


How do you fix reverse lights on a 1998 F150--all fuses are good and both bulbs are good--neither reverse light comes on when going in reverse--this is a manual 5 speed truck?

Why do the reverse lights not work on a 1997 Toyota Tercel?

There is a switch called the reverse backup light switch attached to the shifter. When you move the shifter into reverse, the switch is closed and current goes back to the reverse lights. The switch is located on both auto and manual trans. After making sure your bulbs are good, that is where I would look. And make sure your fuses are not blown as well in your fuse block. There usually is not just a circuit dedicated to reverse lights only but there is always something a manufacturer will do some years just to be different.


Why does the reverse lights stay on even when you are not in reverse?

The switch on the transmission is bad. It usually looks like a bolt with two wires going to it. Check a service manual they are easy to replace.

Unscrew that puppy!According to my Haynes manual, the reverse light switch is located on the top of the left end (driver's side) of the transaxel. Unplug the electrical connector from the switch and remove the switch with a socket DO NOT use an open end wrench.Installation is the reverse. Tighten the switch to 24 Ft. Lbs.


Where can you find the neutral safety switch on my 1995 Saturn SL2?

What activates backup lights on 1997 wrangler?

There is a backup switch in the gearbox. When you shift into reverse, the gear box switch contacts the switch and lights the white reverse lights. If you find that the reverse lights don't work it could be that the switch is not being triggered by the mechanism inside the gearbox. This is providing that everything else is working; wiring,bulbs,etc.
