Title: Reverse lights...huh
Post by: Richard Kuczko on May 20, 2013, 04:36:35 PM

Well I have all my electrical just about all figured out but one stupid function.  It's the reverse lights....I went thought the schematics for this problem and from what I read it goes....rear backup lights to switch to inline fuse to coil...my first thought was huh. Really....so before I did anything I cleaned the contacts. Made sure all my lights were functioning and ground was good blah blah.   So I figure the switch is the little red button on the dash with the "B" on it still don't understand it. So do I push that button for the lights to come on.  Or will it automatically come on when I put it in reverse..ohh it's a 1970 bay...and as far as I know there is only 1 black wire with a in line fuse on it.  Thanks
