Reverse Lights

Post by Envy03 »

Anyone have both reverse bulbs go out at the same time, pull them out only to see that they are both not blown?Where did you get your replacement bulbs? dealer?

Sounds like a bad switch. Although sometimes they can be blown and the filament still looks good.Any parts store should have bulbs. They're not a dealer specific item. The last set I got were from Canadian Tire.

I thought both of mine were blown, but it was the connector on the transmission that was not seated correctly and had worked itself loose

Replacing this should do the trick
