Reverse lights not working
I have a 1999 automatic c5 corvette and my reverse lights aren’t working. They come on when I use the key fob to unlock it but not when I put it in reverse. Have been told to check fuse 21. the fuse blows every time the car is turned on so there must be a shortage. Anyone know where the shortage could be and how to get to it?

There is a backup switch that screws into the side of your transmission. I had the same problem with my 1999 M-6. It’s only $15-20 for the part and only a couple of minute job to install once you get under the car. If I remember right, it’s on the drivers side of the manual transmission. I don’t know about the automatic but would guess that it’s on the drivers side to.
