Examination
Power is supplied to the reverse light bulbs via a plunger-type switch sensor screwed into the top of the manual transmission housing.
1. If the lights fail to operate, first check the integrity of the corresponding fuse.
2. Disconnect the electrical wiring from the sensor switch. Using an ohmmeter or test lamp, make sure that the sensor switch switches to the closed state when selecting reverse gear. If necessary, replace the sensor switch - first check the corresponding electrical wiring for signs of a break or short circuit.
