Car Forum / Jeep / October 2005My Back-Up Lights Are OUT!
Went out tonight and noticed my back-up lights are not working...what gives, the whole tailight assemblies are maybe a month old. I mean it was a plug in assembly. Any guesses?? Thanks Ross 86 CJ7, 258 Jack-Jack did pass the time by typing: > Went out tonight and noticed my back-up lights are not working...what > gives, the whole tailight assemblies are maybe a month old. > > I mean it was a plug in assembly. > > Any guesses?? Bulbs, fuse, bad reverse switch, gremlins. I'd start by checking fuses.  SignatureDougW and don't forget -- bad ground...

You probably used them too much in daytime and overloaded them. http://paul.merton.ox.ac.uk/science/darksucker.html.

I have an 82 CJ-7 and have the same problem from time to time. It hangs down in plain view when it pops off. Norman Thanks Norman that's exactly what it was any way to tighten up that connection? You either have burned out bulbs or a dead or unplugged switch. If it was a bad ground (the mounting bolts are the ground), the brake lights wouldn't work also. Did you put stock assemblies in? Have you been messing with any wiring near the transmission? Did you put high watt bulbs in and maybe burn out the switch?
