Default Help with Reverse Lights...

Need some help, when I'm in reverse, the reverse lights aren't coming on. Anyone had this problem? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Adam G

Yup, I had this problem within the first year. Had dealer take care of it. He said they "replaced" the back-up light switch. Doubtful. Probably just re-secured a loose connection. Dealers do this kind of thing to GM all the time.
Jack up your car and take a look to see if the connector is loose or off of the switch on the trans. If so just re-connect it. Otherwise let dealer check it. :cheers:

If you have an M6 faulty back-up light switches are common,a loose connection to the switch is not common :p:

I have this problem on my '99 manual transmission. It comes and goes and I haven't seen it recently (though it's hard to spot unless you're looking for it). I don't think it's anything as simple as a loose connection based on how sporadically the problem comes and goes. When I notice the lights fail to come on, I repeatedly switch in and out of reverse two or three times. They
eventually come on, though little if anything would have wiggled the connections.
