Is it a piece that hooks to the tranny. I know it cant be the bulbs.

Yeah -- there is a plug on top of the tranny i believe that controls reverse lights.

check your shifter linkage too

my reverse lights also went out when i rebuilt my engine. don't know why but i must have broken the unit.

Yup sensor on the top of the trans, in front of the battery. Mine went out, Juan's did, and so did others.

check your fuse too.

I just had this problem a couple weeks ago. I checked the fuse, bulbs, linkage & nothing :-(. It ended up being that reverse light switch on top of the tranny, made sure by jumpering across the two leads. That thing cost me $54 at Satan x(, what a ripoff.

pfft, I still say bridge the connection and hook it up to a toggle switch, that'll cost ya about 2 bux at radio shack.

Hell yeah! Thats what I did on my 62 Healy. :7

ya but how often are you gonna remember to turn it on? i replaced mine. got ripped off more than anyone else on the board i think. $74 from satan. check autozone an stuff. should be about $20-30 or so. i'm prolly gonna do the switch thing eventually so i can flash my reverse lights when i feel like it but i wouldn't recommend not having the regular sensor hooked up. the whole point of reverse lights is to let people know your car is moving backwards so they don't hit you. and yea help you see behind you somewhat too...

i just noticed 2 days ago that my reverse lights are out too... how bout that? i'm thinking that it might be that tranny switch cuz i've been pokin around under the hood lately and perhaps i disconnected it :)

My fuse is fine. I am not to worried about it though. I dotn drive in reverse much anyway..lol. Maybe I'll fix it one day.
