As you read in the title, I have no reverse lights. I just bought the car and it came that way. What'd be the first two or three things to check, I don't yet have my manual or else I'd check into it. It's also cold as a witches boobie up here so minimizing my time fixing it would be nice.

Thanks, guy in advance for any help you can lend

1. Bulbs
2. Fuses
3. Wiring
4. The switch on the transmission for manual or the shifter for automatic.

sorry, that's 4, but the 3rd one may lead to the 2nd one.

There's not much else to it. I'm at work or i'd name the correct fuse for you.

Alright, thanks. I'll look for the fuse, I'm sure I can figure it out. Is it in the Owners Manual perhaps?

When I searched, I saw the plug on the (manual) transmission. I just wish my driveway wasn't filled with ice and snow!

DTN, I appreciate the assistance.

First thing is first, check teh bulbs like DTN said. Make sure they aren't burnt out, and make sure they ARE THE RIGHT BULBS. Lots of morons have a habit of putting the wrong bulbs in there.

Then check all your fuses, down by your dead pedal in the drivers seat.

Says here the only fuse in the system is in the dash fuse box. Fuse 9, Red, 10A


Heh, I love how I memorize schematics sometimes. Maybe I'll start remembering fuse numbers too.

There's a plug for the transmission, it'd be on top - possibly under your airbox tubing, right on the top of the tranny. I can't remember specifics, but the plug controls the reverse lights. I had to rewire it when I swapped from an auto to a manual so they'd work. I believe it was a 7 or 8 pin plug, square.

that's it, the auto plug is different from the manual, but it looks like the wire colors are the same. i will let you know if the colors are the same.
