juan Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Ok - the reverse lights are not working on my 88 comanche, 6cyl, 5 speed so I started trobleshoting with the basic stuff - checked the light bulbs and wiring, checked the fuse and checked the reverse switch on the side of the tramsmision - all checked out fine. I went as far as dsconnecting the wire plug located at the rear of the comanche just behind the rear driver side wheel to check for continuity between the bulbs and the plug, also did the same continuity check between the reverse switch contacts on the side of the transmission and as far as I could trace it which is another plug located below the heater hoses entering the firewall - all checked ok. I stopped there because the wires enter another main loop full of wires and I just did not know where they go. So somwhere in between I'm not getting 12v. what else can I do or checked - anyone had this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Are you sure it's not a ground problem? Try grounding a test light from your 12V lead at the light buld to the chassis. If it works then you might just want to ground the blubs right to the frame, or figure out what happend to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaekl Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I can help on this one. Sorting out my acquired 88 I had no back up lights. I was digging into everything. I found that there are two fuses involved. Check the fuse marked trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC87MJ Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 where are the two fuses located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaekl Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 They're both located in the main fuse block by your left foot. The turn signal is used as well as the trans. Check all of your fuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
