OK. The back-up light switch is located on the top of the tranny. You will need to move the battery out of the way to get at it.
To do a quick and easy test to see if it is actually the problem, you could jump the red wire in pin 3 of connector CA1 to a +12V power source. If the lights come on when you do that, then you know that either the back-up switch is bad or its connector is corroded. CA1 - MT Back-up Switch.jpg

Yes the lights are ok, so it's got to be the switch or the plug, where do I find them?

What exactly is the bottom end of the arrow pointing to? I can't quite tell from the diagram. Also should this be done with the car on or off, or in accessory mode? Thanks |
