There is usually not a fuse just for the reverse light. It will be fed by a fuse which also feeds several other items. If everything else is working, could be the switch has failed, or the wire has come loose. You don't say what kind of car you have, nor whether it has an automatic or manual transmission. On automatics, the switch is usually at the bottom of the steering column, and is sometimes part of the neutral safety switch. On manual transmissions, the switch is usually mounted to the transmission itself, and the wiring can easily be pulled loose if you run over something or drive off road.

My tail lights/reverse lights are not working - either side. checked the fuses, they seem fine. the brake light above the tire does work? any suggestions - going to see my Dad Sunday (old mechanic),...


reverse is a whole different circuit. via the transmission reverse switch..
my guess is you have burned out lamps.
im looking at alldata.com now. (so can you)
and i will pick the Reverse page, its boy scout simple
battery, fuse 39, wires a switch and 2 lamps.

i bet fuse 39 is blow,
replace, it. some that look good, are in fact not (micro cracks)
or use an ohm meter (dmm set to ohm low)
0 ohms good
infinity bad.

there is a fuse box in engine bay and cab.

I cant find the location of reverse light fuse,it's not also located in fusebox

Try looking under the hood most cars have 2 fuse boxes and if what your looking for isnt in 1 its in the other. If you cant find it you might need to get a fuse tester and try all the fuses it could be with another fuse ie: radio, wipers, etc...

Reverse light fuse blows when put into reverse

Unfortunately, many possibilities. If you have time, start by removing both reverse lamp sockets from light assembly(and keep from touching any metal), remove bulbs from sockets, CAREFULLY INSPECT sockets and wires. New fuse of correct rating. Turn key on and try again in reverse.
Fuse still blows: Next place to look is transmission reverse electrical switch and wiring as far as you can trace looking for burned/stripped wires near transmission and wires by sockets
Fuse doesn't blow: Turn key off and install one lamp in socket at a time. DO NOT install sockets into fixture at this time. Test. Remove first lamp to check second. If still O.K., each socket back into fixture(one at a time same as before)and test. Most common problems: Sockets contaminated, wires shorting at sockets, bulbs installed incorrectly shorting to ground.

Back up lights do not come on

There is a reverse light switch at the bottom of the trans. Its a round circle looking piece about 1 1/2 inches round. Replace it. The fluid will run out of the trans when you remove it, so you will need some fluid or catch what you have. So again "reverse light switch" cost on this part is about $40.
