Reverse lights not coming on, please help
Hey all,
My reverse lights on my 6-speed 98 c5 do not come on when I put the car in reverse :-( They do however come on when I use unlock from my key fob, so I know they work. Does anyone know where the sensor or switch is located on the tranny that is activated when I put it in reverse? I went under there today but I could not find any that looked like it would do that. Thanks in advance for your help

Reverse lights
The reverse light switch is on the passenger side of the transmission. I got one from autozone a little north of $10. Mine was doing the same as yours, Key remote could activate the lights, but putting into reverse would not. It actually took longer to jack the back end of the car up, put safety jack stands under than change the switch.
Good luck
