reverse lights not working

It could be a fuse or the reverse switch on the transmission (less likely).

i know this is probably a dumb question but i might as well ask it. i have an 02SE-R and my reverse lights dont work. i dont think they have ever worked since i bought my car used about a year and a half ago. i just never thought it was that big of a deal but i would like them to work. any ideas of what could be wrong? and yeah the bulbs are good haha.

I dont know how it happened but yes i have the same issue. And dumb mechs at Nissan cant seem to figure it out, if they do it will prolly cost me $500.

Anyway I just bought some led wedge bulbs to replace them. IT works, it has something to do with the electrical of the reverse lights, because a lower voltage LED bulb(s) seem to work just fine. i think the original size is 92 bulbs but you can fit a 194 wedge bulb in there. Go to superbrightleds.com they have a good deal there. one of the brightest LEDs too for cheaper.

the older LEDs i have on mine are still there but not as bright as the new 1s they sell.

other than that i never bothered figuring it out... just happy with those LEDS

im thinking this, or bad relay pack...

what do you mean reverse switch on the transmission?

thats where the relay plays into part, when u hit reverse, the voltage triggers through a relay to the reverse light

so i should check my relays?

Sorry to revive this old thread but i do have the same issue.

My reverse lights don't work and my CC wont engage.

So which one is the fuse and the relay for it. I do know where the switch is on top of then tranny.

Thanks for the help guys

Btw mine is a 2003 ser spec v.
