Question about my Reverse lights. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My reverse lights don't work, come on at all. I checked and replaced the bulbs which where fine but i replaced anyhow, The fuse is also okay and so is the relay swith, But they still don't come on. I know some cars have the switch in the tranny but those rarely break, my car has 166,000 miles on it, everything else works except the reverse light. its a 93. Any other suggestions or places i should check? or does anyone know where the tranny switch goes and how hard it is to get to it and replace? Thanks.

The first thing I wuld do is use a voltmeter and see where if you can get any current after the reverse switch.  If you can't find anything, then replace the switch, I don't know where it is off hand, sorry
