Reverse lights working intermittently - your help please
The reverse lights (back-up lights) are working intermittently on my 99 frc 6-speed. I'm sure it's a switch somewhere but is this switch located at the transmission in the rear or up front at the shift linkage? How do i get to it and is it adjustable? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.

I seem to remember Yellow Fellow's (not Yella Fella :D) C5 having intermittant turn signal problems as well. In his case, if I remember right, it was a wire that got rubbed through and was grounding out.

I JUST got my car back from the service dept with a backup light complaint on my 2000 C5 convert.
Well, they told me, that the wire in the plug just behind the rear tire on the pass side (its a water proof plug) stuck up between the frame and body, was loose in there.
If you remove the outside pass side tailight, you can see it down and forward between the frame and body.
If thats any help :crazy:
