No Reverse Lights

Post by aisrael »

My 93 244 does not have reverse lights. The bulbs are new, the tail light circuit paper is not damaged (has good continuity), the the reverse switch is new. Also the seat belt warning light does not work and a/c switch has no power to it. Is there a ground wire that might be broken or these are all none related electrical problems? Everything else works in the car.

Have you checked fuse #12? It covers all of these items.

May be a totally different situation but that was the first sign that my headlight switch was going bad in my 960.

The fuse was not blown and the contacts were good. Power was also goiong to the fuse.

I am afraid that I have to take the dash apart and follow each wire.
