Default Third brake light/backup lights out
Well, I checked the fuses and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Anyone have this combination go out on you before? Any ideas as to cause?
Thanks in advance,
chuck

Still sounds like a fuse, even though you have checked. Try removing the fuse(s) for these items and clean the connections with some sandpaper or the like. I am not near my manuals at the moment, sorry I cant check the schematic.

Mine went out too, fuse is also fine. No juice to the rear wiring harness when in reverse.

Is the trans backup light switch on top of the gearbox or on the side ? Thanks
