Title: Reverse Lights
Post by: jay140285 on February 20, 2012, 10:19:46 AM

Quick Query,

Lost the reverse lights and parking sensors a while ago.

I know the sensors are linked to the reverse lights, but both bulbs are ok and when I looked under the dash at the fuses non of them relate to the reverse lights?

Any ideas.

it will be there or on the transmission itself shouldn't be too hard to find, It can be part of the neutral /park safety swtich assembly, they get all gunked up so need cleaning occasionally.

Cheers mate, thinking about it I had a similar thing on my Trooper, it stopped registering park and would start so had to re wire to start in neutral.

Might take a look after work.

if the GC NSS are made like the ones fitted to the cherokee then they are brittle and break if not careful. These do sieze into place. There might be some slight adjustment so rotate it slightly and see if that fixes the problem or take it off carefully strip clean add a bit of grease and replace.
