Subject: Re: No backup lights! by bigmoe on 2010/4/4 16:40:09 Well it's the switch. Not fun to get at. I had to bend a piece of coat hanger in a short L to lift the tab on the wire connector which, of course was on the top, and I pryed the connectoer off with a long screwdriver. I bent a short piece of wire in a tight u-shape and taped it up to stiffen it and shoved it in the connector while holding it with needlenose. It worked. The reverse lights came on. I'll have to order a switch ($85). I guess I'll have my inspection done anyway and pay the extra to bring it back for the recall check after the lights work. Maybe if the guys at the garage are nice they'll give me a pass so I can get it registered. Hey anyone ever try to fix one of these switches? Another tip for removing the switch. The ONLY tool that will work is a 7/8" deep offset box end wrench. Don't even try anything else unless you're prepared to remove the slave cylinder. |
