Hey!

I've just had to sort out the registration for my car & for that I needed a roadworthy certificate. While the guy was going over the car he pointed out that my reverse lights weren't working... Which was news to me.

Anyway he passed the car but told me to get it fixed.

I checked the bulbs, contacts & everything I could think of... I'm stumped.

Is there like a switch somewhere that I need to check?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have manual or automatic tranny?

Test back up lamp switch:
disconnect connector from a switch, connect 2 pins with a wire, turn the key to ON, put in reverse and your back up lamps should turn on. If so - change your switch.

^ Cheers guys!

That's what I need to do... I'm still not 100% clear on where the switch is but I'll look it up on webtech. I'm sure I'll find it.

it's on the top side of the tranny (where stock airbox should be) , look for wires than you'll find a switch.

It maybe your backup light switch


93860
Your 97 application will probably be 93860-6100 but might superseed to 93860-9002 (98 and up)

Cheers for your help guys fing02.gif

It was the switch so I went to the local Hyundai dealership & got a new one. It cost $58AUD though which is a rip-off... but what can you do?
