My reverse light does not work. The Bulbs are good. I've checked all of the fuses I can find, none are blown. But i could not find a fuse labeled reverse light. Where can I find the fuse and if it is not the fuse or bulb what can be the problem.

First check all your fuses and see if 1 of the fuses are blown, you can shorten the process of checking every single fuse by looking at the label and seeing which 1 runs to your tail lights and reverse lights. If that doesn't fix it you could check the bulbs themselves and see if they are burnt out or if 1 of the wires has shorted out near the tail lights. If those are not the problems the next step would be to lift up The rubber shroud around your gear shift, if you look to the back right side of the white plastic inside that console you will be able to see where the gear shift moves into reverse, just below that point there should be 1 or 2 wires that have plastic connectors on the ends of them check to make sure that the wire/wires are plugged in. If none of these work check your body control module for BCM and make sure that all plugs are secured in there tightly. If all those options fail I suggest taking it to the dealer.
first check all fuses with a tester,if they all are good,next check the switch & connector for corrosion & possible broken wire,if those are good the bulbs might have burnt out,if you only had a few were working the rest might have reached the limit & now your totally dark,usually when the switch goes it goes all together no nothing so I think the other things I have mentioned will bring back your dash lights as long as there was no electrical work done,if there was theres a blown fuse that will continue to blow until the circuit is corrected
If they all stopped working at the same time then it is probably a fuse or possibly 2. Check your fuse panels in the dash and under the hood. The dash lights and gauges should be a fuse labeled instrument cluster or guages, it is probably blown. The other fuse to look for will be the tail light fuse. This is where I would begin.
Blown fuse. Do you have your owner's handbook? The fuse should be labeled. The location will be inside the car. Look under the dash on the driver's side and you may have to pull fuses to make sure they are good, but it should be only 1 fuse.
Hi - sorry your having problems with your back up lights. Let's do a quick check and simple first. 1 - remove the bulbs to see if they are burnt out- YES on occasion both will be out at the same time because one out isn't always noticed. 2- once we establish the bulbs are good - check your fuses. In the owners manual they will be labeled or on the fuse box cover. Some fuses are under the dash and some are under the hood and sometimes these must both be checked. 3 if the fuses are good you will need to check the adjustment at the shift lever/ transmission. There is a switch that makes a connections and 'grounds' the wire making the lights light up. This must be checked for power with the car in reverse and jacked up and carefully put on jack stands. Many major injuries happen during this procedure so just be extra careful and it is best to have someone with you. Be sure to check back if my suggestions don't cure the problem. Thanks - please rate -
the reverse back up lights usually light up when the car is in reverse gear.., however get the wiring checked as you already have checked the fuse and bulbs.
