Got a '99 Honda Civic EX coupe (auto) and the reverse lights are not working. I brought it to Honda and they mentioned the reverse switch is broken...I'm not sure what they are talking about, but it costs $210 to fix that thing (parts+labor). Is this an easy fix I can do? I don't want to spend all that much to fix something that may be simple. Any ideas? thanks in advance.

*Sorry for being such a noob, but I hate auto and OBD2 cars.

 

whether its hard or not, do it yourself.


download the service manual on hondahookup.com

it will give you step by step procedures.

 

fuse? bulbs? check the simple things first.

Done that before I brought it to Honda for diagnostics. I'm going to replace the "reverse switch" myself. I've been digging around for "reverse switch" and found out that it is located where the shifter is on this car (??). I'll give hondahookup.com a try. If anybody have any diagrams or how to's on this, please help out.

Thanks for the replies!

 

Can someone confirm where the reverse switch is at on an automatic civic? Any pics?

 

the manual WILL have it

I'm looking at the manual right now (96-00 civic service manual PDF file). No luck pinpointing the reverse switch...or does it go by another name?
