Backup light problem
« on: November 22, 2005, 03:47:00 PM »
Hello all,
            I have a problem with my backup lights on my 1987 samurai. The backup lights only come on when I go to 5th gear.No backup light in reverse. Very strange. Any master electronics guys on here?                        Thanks  Allen

someone has put the wires for the reverse lights onto the 5th gear switch on the tranny.  There's a funny little switch thingy that plugs into 2 positions on the tranny, 1 for 5th gear (i believe), and the other for reverse.

Someone been screwing around under there.

if nobody has cut wires just pull out both switches and swap them back where they belong,the front one you can change from under the hood.

They should be on the firewall right behind the carb (if same as my 89) they should be the only 2 that run down to the tranny.

They are both on top of the transmission,if your sitting in your rig they should be on the top left side.
