hey all, my manual gpx has been having problems with the reverse lights not turning on recently (although it could have been for ages since you don't actually get to see your reverse lights in action too much).

I'm pretty sure the bulbs aren't on because every once in while they turn on when i chuck it in reverse, but most of the time they dont. I tried seeing if it was just in the way I shifted but it didnt make a difference.

any ideas? maybe where I can start looking wiring/whetever wise? :cry:

I've had this happen to me before, the reverse light switch in my gearbox had died.

I don't know what the equivalent part numbers for this switch is however, my mechanic took care of that for me.

sweet thanks man... was hoping that I wouldn't need to go to the mechanic but at least that confirms it

Before you go into a mechanics, just check your fuses and lights yourself . . .

If these are fine, then it's probably the switch
