• Reverse Lights Not Illuminating:
  • Check the reverse light bulbs: Ensure they are not burnt out.
  • Inspect the fuse: Locate and check the fuse for the reverse lights in your vehicle's fuse box.
  • Verify electrical connections: Ensure the wiring harness connector is securely attached to the switch and free from corrosion.
  • Test the switch: If bulbs and fuse are good, the switch itself may be faulty. A multimeter can be used to check for continuity across the switch terminals when reverse gear is engaged.
• Reverse Lights Always On:
  • This typically indicates a faulty switch that is stuck in the "on" position, or an issue with the transmission not fully disengaging the switch actuator.
  • Disconnect the switch's electrical connector. If the lights turn off, the switch is likely faulty and requires replacement.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consult a qualified automotive technician.
