reverse lamps don't work. S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

1997 with s13 sr. My reverse lamps don't work. I don't see a fuse for "reverse lamps" if there is any. The bulbs look perfectly fine. The bulb connectors look fine and connected securely. Not sure where to look next. T.I.A.

update: Yea, it was the wire to the reverse lamp switch, thanks.

when that happened to me, it was my reverse gear sensor or w/e, its located on your tranny with a plug. wire snapped off due to rubbing

Cool, thanks for the quick reply. Will check for a reverse sensor on the trans and update.

2pin plug, wire colors are green/white and green on the chassis side. It's the same fuse as the gauge cluster, so as long as the cluster is good the switch is either bad or unplugged.
