Reverse Light doesn't work, fuse good and bulb to.

Hi, the reverse light doesn't work on Escape 2010 XLT Automatic trans. I changed 1 blown fuse under the hood,(bulb ok) and checked every fuse 1 by 1. Under the hood box and passenger side fuse box. They are all good. Someone tell me than it could be the Backup Light Switches. Is it possible? If so where EXACTLY it is, and what it look like on a Escape 2010? All informations will be appreciated.

I haven't worked on an escape, but i can tell you that switch is on the transmission.

Testimonial: "Thank you for you answer, but for me the transmission or the motor, or even the alternator is the same thing. I tough it would be easy to find lol. Anyway, i found the solution tonight. It was the fuse, even if i had changed them before, it seem than it was only that. My mecanic say so.. and charge me 1$ lol thank you for your time"

SOURCE: i dont have my owners manual for my 2004 ford f150

You can download a copy of it from :
https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/owners_manuals/default.asp

This is a pdf version.

If you want a paper copy, sure the auction sites would have some listed, or you can get a new one from helm inc.

SOURCE: Dash lights and taillights out fuses all ok

In battery junction box or the under hood fuse panel check fuse no 11(15amp),it will be at the center of the fuse box where there is 4 fuse slots but looks like only 3 fuses, if this fuse in good then you will see a relay that is shaped kinda like a cross.This is the parklamp relay which also powers the dash lights.

The switch is inside of the transmission. i'm sorry, but that one isn't an easy fix.

Reverse light not working on 2009 ford escape

First check the bulbs. To many times I have replaced bulbs. If bulbs are good then you have to go to the neutral safety switch. It on the drivers side of the transmission. You have power in, because other things work. Check power out. Usually a purple or purple/white wire. No power out. Replace the switch. Personally, I would just live with it.

Reverse lights on 1997 bighorn not working

if the lights not working check the fuse with a test light, if they appeared to be good remove the bulb and find a good ground to clip your test light with the pointed end of the test light touch the center led witch should be positive if it dont light up check the ground then the wires it self there may be a short or a bad ground and change the bulb if you cant see weather its good or bad and sometime you have to scrape inside or twist the bulb i hope you get some results

Reverse light will not work

Obviously check bulbs and fuses, if ok, suspect faulty reverse light switch on trans if its a manual, or gear select switch if automatic.

Reverse lights not working

It's either three things
1. The fuse in your control box has gone bad, should be black box under the hood, find the blown fuse and replace with the same number amps listed.
2. The switch for the reverse light has shorted, best way to take in it or Google "Reverse light switch" for the make and model of the vehicle and watch those nifty lil "How to video's" that make it look so easy...or.
3. The bulbs...probably should check these first.

No reverse light, all fuse good. reverse Switch?

It's not that simple anymore . The transmission range sensor switch is what they have now . This range sensor informes the PCM - engine computer what gear the vehicle is in. When you put the gear selector into reverse B+ voltage from the range sensor to the PCM tells the PCM reverse has been selected , the PCM then will energize the reverse lamp relay (located in the under hood fuse/relay box) there by turning on the reverse lamps . There are two fuse's in the under hood fuse/relay box . F27 10amp. & F35 10amp.
