No Back-up Lights
Suddenly no backup lights on '91 ZR-1. Checked bulbs and fuse, both look good. Is the next most likely culprit the backup switch mounted on the transmission?

When my back-up lights quit, I went down the same road as you. I finally pulled the connector off the switch at the trans and jumped the connector. Bingo they came on...replaced switch. All fine now.
Goodluck.

Ditto. Switch cost me $23 at the dealers.

You're going to love fixing that.
I ended up taking the clutch slave cylinder out to reach it and even then its almost impossible to get a wrench on the little bugger.
While you're in the neighborhood, take care of the CAGS if you haven't already.

Randall.....
I had the same thing happen several months ago.. it is the back-up switch. I have a picture of the culprit on my webpage under "Other mods/info"... that's what you have to replace.......the clutch cyl is in the way, but it's a 1/2 hour job for a good mechanic at most.

Re: No Back-up Lights (Randy)
Well you all were right, sort of. I managed to pull the connector off and jump the wires and WA LA the back-up lights came on. I put the connector back on the switch because I couldn't get the switch off due to it's tight location and my lack of a lift. The back-up lights started working! :D
For one day. :cuss
Will give it another try when I can get it on a lift or get access to the switch.
