My reverse lights won't come on. The reverse lights are new, but wiring is in contact, I thought it was reverse switch on the trans. However, I replaced that and thy still won't come on.

the car comes with 2 transmission.
a/t and m't (auto or stick)
the a/t uses an expensive PRNDL switch (aka. neutral switch)
the m/t uses reverse switch.
both are located on the transmission.
the m/t has 2 wires)
the A./t about 6. (not 2)
with those 2 facts, you can find it, counting wires.
next time post trans type, so we dont have to guess.
verify the ground wire is good, black wire, its down on the frame rail, opposite of the air filter housing, if thats OK, it, could be the turn signal switch. but the wires go from the turn signal switch, through the Daytime Running Lights Module, through the fuse panel under the hood, then to the light socket. wire is light blue / white coming out of turn signal switch to DRL module, then its light blue all the way to the socket.
The wire should go into the same harness as do the remainder of the wires from the switch. If you tell me which pin the wire attaches to in the harness plug I can tell you what it does/ The two center ones opposite the clip are for the starter.(Plug facing you, clip at the top, two center pins in lower row) Likely the wire you are looking at is to the starter relay But, if the reverse lights are on, make sure the neutral switch is adjusted properly before doing anything else...if it is, a contact inside the switch may be broken and bridging the reverse contacts.
it depends if it is auto or manual. There is a nuetral saftey switch on the auto-located on the manual valve arm(the piece that the linkage from the shifter connects to at the trans.) On the manual trans. there will be a 2 pole switch on the top shift plate that is for reverse only. The starting(clutch engagement switch)is located at the clutch pedal-2 seperate switches. First check for power at the back up light bulb connecter with reverse engaged(may have power at all times when key is on). Then check for ground when reverse is engaged-from bulb connecter to ground) with reverse engaged. The switch will just provide the ground when reverse is engaged. The power comes from an alternate source. Most likley a switch issue but at least this way you can be sure.
On the side of your transmission will be a switch with several wires
coming out of it. This is your reverse switch that turns on your
reverse lights and most likely needs to be replaced
the problem is most likely the reverse light switch on the transmission. is this a manyual or auto, 1st picture is switch for manual, 2nd for automatic.
