Hi All! Reverse lights don't work, bulbs changed...check. Connections all there...check. Even checked the battery and followed the wires into the engine compartment and don't see any missed connections.
Any suggestions? Thanks |

Starting to figure it is the pin, what page in Haynes? Or pictures.
Thanks |

You can check the switch after verifying that the pin is present by pulling the 2 wires out of the switch and putting an ohm meter across the terminals, if it doesn't drop to zero ohms when you shift into reverse then the switch is bad. |

If the back up lights work, it's the switch. |
