reverse light mystery 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Erik on  Sun Oct 10 14:24 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have two amazon wagons and none have working or visable wires for the reverse lights. The Haynes manual shows a relay mechanism...any one know of what type this may be or other options for making the lights work?

Thanks,
-Erik

    Erik;

    ...typically a (black) wire in a sleave leaves the harness in the area of the brake distribution block on the firewall and runs along the top of tranny to the grounding switch (two types were installed). The other end goes to the relay located (with possibly others) at the Dr side inner fender were it terminates at terminal 85 of the "Relay for Reversing Lights".

    "Reversing lights" require, among other things, Fuse 2 to be intact.

    See: http://www.intelab.com/swem/122S%20Wiring%20Diagram.jpg this wiring diagram is for an Automatic trans model, but for this purpose, still correct.

    I cant see the IRS either...but I'm almost certain they are there...and "working"!

    Cheers
