No reverse lights? Start here.

How's it going everyone? Long time lurker here, finally made an account. Rather than do a formal introduction, I'd rather just share something I completed today.

My 2.7L 5 speed did not have reverse lights. Didn't notice until I brought it for annual state inspection. I checked all the fuses and the bulbs themselves. Then remembered from school that there are back up light switches. I unplugged the switch and checked it with a meter. Viola. No continuity.

It's easy as can be to change and the only tool required is a 27mm wrench. Not a common size so I had to buy one. ($8 at Home Depot). You can't use a ratchet because there isn't enough clearance to seat the socket on the switch due to the tranny tunnel.

The switch cost $22 auto zone and takes 30 seconds to change.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!
