reverse light fuse

grunge311 · 06-15-2005, 06:53 AM

I lost my reverse lights when I was wireing my reverse camera last night. I shorted out the reverse +. I found a huge 6 pin fuse/relay? labeled reverse lamp under the hood but don't know if thats whats blown. Is that the thing I need to replace? is there any other reverse fuse I can check? I looked thru all the pass side fuses and there all fine. If that thing is the shot can I get one at like napa, checker, autozone? Or is it a dealer only item?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure you should leave the relay alone and just replace a blown fuse.

I can't find a blown fuse. The only thing labeled reverse lamps is this large 6 pin what looks like a relay in the fuse box under the hood in the fuse box of the hood.

Download the service manual and look at page PG-23 in the electrical section. I would be surprised if it was the relay and not a fuse.

I am downloading the manual now. I swear I checked all the fuses. We'll see. thanks for the help

I just read that section, Wow, I didn't even know there was another fuse box in there.

Thank for the advice.

Rearview mirrors work great!

In where? (For those of us w/o the manual)

There's two fuse boxes under the hood. I checked the one with the reverse lamp relay, right above (closer to the cabin) there is another box full of fuses.

Im sure any idiot would realize that, and I probablywould have two except it was 2:30 in the morning and I have been installing stuff all week and can still barely think straight.

No worries - thanks!! I don't know if I ever noticed it before either, but then again I have yet to find myself staring at the engine wondering what I should be checking bacause X isn't working...
