Aidenmoreno3 Posted December 8, 2024 Share Posted December 8, 2024 1992 Jeep Comanche, previous owner swapped in an ax15. My reverse lights were working, but the wiring job he did wasn’t the gets and a slight pull pulled the wires off the pigtail (first photo). I re soldered the pigtail correctly (color coded on mine, colors are black white green line, blue with white line) The reverse switch had some fraying so I imagined that was the problem, got a new one, still no reverse lights. then I pulled out a multimeter to check, no continuity to the plug:/ so now I’m thinking I either have a short or a blown fuse/relay, but everyone keeps saying “trans” fuse. There’s no fuse in my kick panel labeled trans and now I’m lost. Any ideas? For now I’m gonna check the ground on the drivers side beside the tail lights and check the bulbs themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted December 8, 2024 Share Posted December 8, 2024 Well yours being an HO, you probably won’t have the trans fuse as that’s more of a Renix thing. This being said, have you checked all fuses related to the circuit? If you had some frayed wires, probably grounded out on something and popped a fuse.

Aidenmoreno3 Posted December 9, 2024 Author Share Posted December 9, 2024 I pulled all the fuses under the hood and most of the ones in the kick panel just to be safe, and I haven’t found any popped yet. Do you happen to know which ones to check off the top of your head or do you know where I can get a diagram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidenmoreno3 Posted December 10, 2024 Author Share Posted December 10, 2024 After taking the tail lights off and looking at the bulbs, it appears that the previous owner installed some aftermarket LEDS…which were loose in the socket. A quick twist and I now have reverse lights. Another lesson about starting at the most simple and going more complex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted December 10, 2024 Share Posted December 10, 2024 Glad that was a simple fix. I don’t have any literature on the HO stuff and would have been no absolute help whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llhat Posted December 10, 2024 Share Posted December 10, 2024 was going to try some LED, got some fairly expensive sylvania from O.Rei, 1156. two pack they would not fit into the socket (would insert, but could not turn and lock in place) actually messed up one of them trying to twist the original 1156 would simply twist into place. somehow got the second one in the package to 'barely' secure, will see how long before it vibrates loose, then will go back to regular 1156 bulbs...
