Reverse lights not working changed bulbs - 1991 Volvo 940

What is this?

of course changing a brake pedal switch will not help in a reversing light problem
they are two totally different circuits
check for a damaged wire at the reverse light switch or bulb holder for the reversing bulbs for a dead short
as for the rest check the IGN fuse under the bonnet

check switch wire on gearbox, can fall off? or fuse, and bulbs, I have had 2 bulbs go at once? so could be as simple as changing the bulbs

Make sure the tail lights and brake lights are working including the one in the rear window, if any of these are out the dash warning light will stay on, any bulbs that look discolored should be replaced

There is not any left or right reverse Light switch. It is only one switch for reversing light and it is fitted on the Transmission. If you do have the one working and the other not,first check the bulb if is ok,if not change it. If the bulbs are ok, check for any broken wiring.

if fuse and bulbs are fine then it's your reverse switch that's not working. it is located at the transmission, change it. but before changing you should make sure that the wires are not cut or faulty.

check and change switch down on brake padel
