Back up light wiring

My back up light on my VS is not working, does anyone know where it is supposed to be connected, or where the switch is located?

Thanks,

Scott

First, check the bulb (I know, that sounds obvious)

Second, check the fuse (Yeah, that's obvious, too)

Also, when checking 1 and 2 above, also check them with a voltmeter to make sure you're actually getting voltage to the bulb.

Third, check the ground connection to the back-up light housing - it might have corroded or sumthin.

Lastly, the back-up light switch is located at the front of the transmission on the top, front corner of the passenger side, in about as difficult a place (but not impossible) to replace it as can be. It will have two or three terminals on it. The wires must be removed before removing the switch, which has a hex body to accept something like a 22mm or 7/8" wrench/socket.

If you replace it, remember to put thread sealant on the threads before putting the new one in.

Thanks Gordon!

Yeah, I checked the obvious stuff last night. I found a wire disconnected near the transmission area, now I at least know where to look for the switch.

Thanks. Not having backup lights on my "outlaw", I've wondered what the heck you need a transmission electrical connection for. Some day I'll have to hunt down the rest of those wires and kill'em.
