reverse light not working

hey guys,

Recently i found that both the reverse lights of my fto are not working.

Checked with the fuse box but didnt find any blown fuse.

Changed the bulbs but still the same.

What may be the reason for that?

What should i do?

Tip or Manual? You'll need to check the switch that the gear stick triggers when it's put into neutral, sounds like that could be the problem. Mine only fires like 70% of the time, but I dont mind, the brake lights are much more powerful anyway so if i'm reversing and want to see I just give them a tap.

have replace mine not long ago, not hard at all ... just need a bit of strength to unscrew the switch on top of the gear box

It's just a little component a bit bigger than a spark plug in the engine bay. I had to have mine replaced when I bought the car. I'm sure there's a guide around. You could certainly do it yourself.

mine's manual too, not sure if it's the same as auto but when i went to mitsu they didn't ask so it should be the same

good thing is the part is so damn easy to acess, a lot of room space to operate

i had this on my manuel at about 106k kms it wast intermitent

45 somthing for hte switch and about 10 minuets with a ratchet. when you get the part and open the engine bay, it becoems very obvius whaty ou have to do (you can see it standing infrotn of your car and looking down on the gear box).

but where can the switch be found?

And how do I contact mitsubishi? by using the phone numbers above?? Does 45 ++ includes delivery?

I dont mind having it not working, cos the car doesnt reverse that much. But still would like to get it fixed.
