I have an on going issue with my reverse lights, and I am now stuck on what to check. Here is what I have tried.

When the car is in reverse and I am in the trunk checking w/ a test light, no bulbs in the factory light bulb socket, the test light illuminates. When I put the socket w/ bulb back in, no illumination comes from the test light nor the bulb.

When I used a smaller bulb, from a flash light and tested the connections, the reverse lights worked.

I am assuming the reverse lights are getting enough power. What can I test now?

I appreciate any help with this.


I am back... had a loaded 95 SE ATX... now I have a 98 Black SVT.
