    This morning when backing up into a parking spot, the backup camera and reverse lights were not working.

    I disconnected the battery. I have checked the backup lp 15 amp fuse and that was good. I have NOT checked the backup lp relay.

    No such luck.

    Was told it might be something to do with the reverse switch on the trans since that would control both.

    I’ve been searching around on here but seems as if most of the reverse light switch replacements are older years. Is it similar to my year?

    I have a friend with a 2020 whose switch went bad around 60k or so, and mine is going bad at 55K. I’d bet it’s that switch.

    Mine was working very intermittently and sometimes delaying the camera/lights, and now for a week it’s been fine. I ordered a new one to have on hand for when it really goes bad.

    Was snooping around the transmission area but wasn’t quite sure if I located it. Passenger side. IMG_3978.jpg

    Nah, that’s O2 sensor. Backup switch has the orange wire grommets exposed and it’s on the transmission itself. And the connector is up above the transmission, making it a pain to beg to. You pretty much have to remove the shifter to change it.
