Any suggestions? > > -- > NewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth There is a switch on the transmission that controls the operation of the reverse lights. The type, location and operation of the switch differs depending on the transmission type. Is the car equipped with an automatic or manual transmission? Of course a wiring fault could cause the problem, but usually it is the switch or the mechanicals from the transmission that operate the switch. Walt Kienzle
