1998 V70XC No Reverse Lights

Post by Svenska »

My reverse/back up lights don't work. The taillights work, turn signals etc. The reverse bulbs are new, the fuse is intact. Before I go digging through the wiring diagrams, does anyone know if this is a quick-fix item? Something very simple maybe?

Look for 12 VDc at the bulb, then trace back.

It might help to row the shifter 20 times while checking to see if the lights flicker which will confirm a PnP diagnosis.
