    Reverse lights out.. Switch??

    Took the car to get a saftey inspect and failed for the reverse lights being out. BMW wants $30 for the part which isnt bad but i cant get a straight answer on where the switch is located.

    Front, back, top, or bottom of the trans? '84 325e

          likely broken wires anyway, check that first.

              I lifted the shift boot and the wires look straight but i didnt dig to deep.
              What set of wires should i look at?

                  The pair of wires that goes through the shift boot through the floor...the rubber boot, that actually seals the floor.

                      I had the same problem with mine. Somehow the wires had gotten tangled on the driveshaft, and got ripped out. Just ran some new wires to the plug, done.
