reverse lights 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Ted on  Sun Oct 22 17:30 CST 2017 [RELATED]

My 240 DL reverse lights do not work, I've checked the bulbs are good. Is there a wire around transmission or relay?

Also have infamous bulb burn out on dash coming on occasionally, but this is not related to reverse lights.

    Depends if yours is an auto or a manual.

    The manual usually needs under the car work to fix the rotting wires.

    The auto needs a combination of under the car work, to fix the shift selector bushings, and inside the car work to repair or replace the neutral start/reverse light switch.

    Or if your car is a sedan or a wagon...

    The sedan could be as simple as a corroded wire in the left taillight housing. Probably the same place your BFWS lamp is getting triggered...

    So, it depends... Wagon or sedan. Manual or Auto. Tell us more.
