I have a 04 Frontier Crew Cab 5 speed manual and my reverse lights wont work. I already replaced the swich on the side of the transmission and it worked for a little bit. Checked the fuses none of them are bad and also replaced the bulbs too. What should I do now?

Unplug the switch, jump the wires, see if the lites
operate.

Seriously!!!!! You take a piece of wire or a paper clip and
jump across the 2 wires in the connector(with it unplugged
from the switch) for the back-up lite switch, with the
ignition switch on.

Don't feel lonley...

I was 13 when (before the Internet - dang near before TV) I started working on my cars to save money for gasoline and to chase girls with. When I was 18 I learned not to wear wedding rings while working on cars. I hooked the ring on stuff a few times then while holding a wrench (not Wench) I shorted out between ground and the battery post. It was a pretty good burn on my finger!!!

Car batteries, fan blades and spark plug wires can make your day and bang your head on the hood.

Have a good one.. Don S..
