Top 3 solutions--reverse lights
What are the top 3 reasons why reverse lights go out on a manual tranny? Assume bulbs are good.
What's the first place (easiest) to check?
Thanks.

Backup switch would be the first place I would go to. I am assuming you still have the Muncie style transmission. This is the pics that I have left of my backup switch. Hope this helps some.

The thin metal rod in the right side of Eddie's pics was disconnected at the switch. The rod goes through a metal plate toggle, and is held by a spring snap (that is long gone). I tried to buy the connector at 2 parts stores and the closest thing was a C snap ring. The rod should probably be drilled for a cotter pin. Anyone know where to get this clip?
With it attached, the lights work fine.
