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.

Which fuse is for the backup lights for a 2002 Grand Cherokee The backup lights do not work and the bulbs are fine. I can not find which fuse is for those lights?

I would check the wires just behind the light. I had the same problem and the wires were broken a little just wiggle them as the lights are on.

How do you fix your reverse lights on your 1997 Cherokee Country with good bulbs?

Replace the neutral safety switch on the trans, it also triggers the backup lights. You can try to remove, clean and adjust it first, it worked for me. It is located on the passengers side of the auto trans.

Both backup lights on my 2001 Volkswagon Jetta GL do not work I replaced the bulbs How do I figure out which fuse is for the backup lights?

Had the same problem with my GL. What I've heard is the back up blade in the shifting fork slips or falls out of line causing no contact when you shift into reverse. They have to replace reconnect thru transmission. 5 years without backup lights.


How do you diagnose backup lights that are working intermittently on 1994 Plymouth Sundance?

On the transmission lever there is a backup light switch which makes contact with the backup light circuit when you place the lever in R. The circuit then sends current to the backup lights and they come on. When you move the shift lever out of Reverse, the circuit is broken and the lights go out. The problem you probably have is a dirty swicth where the contacts meet from the lever to the switch. If the contacts are dirty, you will get intermittent current to the lights. So find the switch on the lever, use some rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts and it may fix it. If not, then your backup light switch may be going bad, but try cleaning the one you have before investing in a new one.
