Title: Need help: Reverse lights don't work
Post by: rottyfan on September 22, 2004, 08:38:44 AM

Hi,

I wanted to check in as a new (to me) Tracker owner.  I recently acquired a 98 2 door 4wd convertable for my wife to use as a station car.  The car is completely stock and the only modification is a Putnam hitch I installed last week.

The only problem I have found is that the reverse lights do not stay lit.  The tranny is an auto and when I shift from park to reverse, the reverse lights briefly light up and then go out.  I know the bulbs are good, so is the problem in the shifter?  Any help or advice you can offer is appreciated.

Cheers

Isn't there a switch for them on the shifter. I'd assume that's where the problem lies if they flash on for a moment and then turn off.

I would say the switch or the shifter are out of alignment causing the to NOT stay on when in reverse.

Auto's have a cable and the cable may need to be adjusted.

I have an Auto Trans too, and shifting
from P to R the lights don't light up, but
shifting from D to R they work, it must be
an adjustment, but I don't remember if it's
on the shifter, or a switch in the Trans
