REVERSE LIGHT DO NOT WORK

The problem is not the fuse most likely but the reverse light switch on the transmission. If it is an automatic the reverse light switch is part of the large switch that sits under the cable that shifts the transmission gears you select. If it is a manual it is located on the side of the case of the tranny. The interior lights are on a different fuse, do they come on at the head light dome light switch? Has the bulb been checked. I do not have the owner's manual on file due to the age of the truck, sorry.

the tail lights and brake lights are on a different circuit so if one goes out you still have the other was your car serviced recently the mechanic might have taken it out so you can come back to spend more$$$ check the owners manual for the fuse value EX. 5amp -15 amp? and put it in the open fuse space in the power distribution box behind the battery this will probably fix your problem and unmask a rotten mechanic if you don't have the owners manual you can search it on the net and look at the power distribution box diagram it will tell you the fuse value that should be there LATER MAN!

Our fuse diagrams come from the owners manuals which are available online, these manuals only go back to the 2004 model year. I suggest you try eBay for a used owners manuals.

Look in your owners manual to see where your fuse box and relay box is located. Check to see if fuse is blown in the fuse box first.

Hi, the likely problem is the turn signal switch. The signals and brake lights use different fuses. You can get an owners manual here:

A new switch is about $40, and it isn't too hard to replace. Make sure you get one that has the same controls as yours does. To replace the switch, remove the covers from the steering column, disconnect the switch and unscrew it from the column.

Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

Hi, see page 6-57 of the owners manual: http://www.extendedgmwarranty.com/owners-manual/buick/1998-Buick-Century.pdf
The tag lamps are on fuse 17. Not sure if the reverse lights are on that same fuse or not, as they are not listed.

very common problem, the light sockets are corroded and require replacement. call your local ford dealer and they will have the parts in stock. good luck

check your stop light working or not, if not check fuse and the stop light switch, if all ok, check the reverse lock-out solenoid, check out your owners manual to lock out manually

well get a test light and test all fuses with key on which ever one doesnt light the test light up check it and see if its blown or take fuses out one by one and see if they are blown

They are full of baloney. Ther's a switch underneath the shift lever that engages when you shiht into reverse. The mechanic probably loosened it when reconnecting the shift linkage to the new tranny.

Thay may have knocked the switch out of position, which would cause the lights to go on in some other gear than reverse. That would be the first thing I check.

Good luck !
