Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Dead reverse lights?

Hey guys. Last time I changed the oil on my car I checked to make sure all of my lights were working. I noticed that neither of my reverse lights were working. I went ahead and bought two new bulbs and changed the old ones out. They still arent working and I dont have much experience with wiring and I cant figure out why they would just stop working...Anyone else ever had this problem, and if you did, how did you fix it? Is there a fuse I can check to make sure that isnt it?
thanks

Sometimes, the switch on the tranny wears out, I thought that's what happened when my lights stopped, but I took it off made sure it was clean and put it back on and it has worked so far. You could try it...it's cheaper than buying a new switch.

there's a fuse that operates thme too...but iirc if that was dead your turn signals wouldn't work either.

So if I tear the [censored] boot off would I be able to tell if the switch was bad from looking at it? This doesnt seem like it should be hard to fix...

that was supposed to say shift boot.
