Ok, so a friend gave me LED bulbs for my reverse lights. i pulled the tail light to access the reverse bulb, put the LED in, and it did not work. Hmm, so i put the stock bulb back in, and nothingggg. Tried another stock bulb, and still nothingggg. what happened???

 

fuse?

 

is there a fuse for the reverse lights? location?

 

everything else still works. i dont understand. I only have 1 reverse light due to my euro fog, which replaced the drivers side reverse light. But everything else works, including the fog, both signals, etc.

 

 

Are you sure the bulb is plugged in correctly?

Both of the sides don't work? or just one side?

 

just the one side. i have a rear fog in place of one side similar to this car:
and the fog and such works fine

 

Check the fuses. There is one behind the battery, I know that one controls your brake lights, so I would assume it would also control the reverse lights as well.

 

theres a fuse box in front of the battery, but nothing there for the lights

 

checked every fuse under the dash as well. all good

 

ok now i plugged in an extra, fully functional, reverse/signal housing into the harness...and that one too doesnt work. so it has nothing to do with the bulb, or housing assembly. Can someone tell me what exact fuse the reverse light runs off of? maybe i overlooked it? any other assumptions???? help!!!!!!

 

There is a fuse box behind the battery. In order to even reach it, I had to remove the battery. The cover is a little tough to get off too.

 

This is the wiring diagram for the reverse lights. Hope it helps you find the problem...

 

found it. 10a fuse in the hidden fuse box along side the battery. thanks for all your help guys.
