Reverse Lights Out

[KenC]

My reverse lights finally stopped working completely the other day. For a while they'd come on about every other time I put the car into reverse, but now I get nothing. What are the first things I should check out? And yes, the bulbs are fine.

What type of trans fluid do you use?

I've read that using syth in the trans can gunk up the switch in the trans, preventing it from working.

is so easy to replace the switch on the side of the trans. About a 5 min. job.
just replace the part, its a 10-15 year old switch, its gonna go bad sometime.

Mine didn't work either, taking off the shift boot revealed a cut wire so :?

I had the same problem. Thought it was the switch, but it ended up being a split in the wire under the shift boot.

What color is the wire that was split?
