88 Crx Hf GSR Swap with Reverse switch problem
ok here is the deal...got a fully rebuilt GSR in my 88 crx...no problems with the motor...only has 2,300 miles on it...fast as hell....on to the dilema...i noticed after the swap my reverse lights did not come on when i put the car in reverse, then about a week later when i was driving and my girlfriend was driving behind me she noticed my reverse lights coming on and off...i assume this was when i was shifting gears....Now....they stay on ALL the time....everything is hooked up right.
parking lights still work fine since reverse and parking lights are on same fuse, no blown fuse....i dont know what to think....is the switch in the trans stuck? is it a bad ground? its OBVIOUSLY getting power lol...i dont know how to get it to work right and i'm about out of options with everything i have tried and i do not want to send my car to a shop over two wires....anyone had any similar problems or possible solutions? i will try and post some pics up soon for a better understanding of what im seeing...but untill then any help is appreciated!

what reverse light switch are you using? I assume the GSR one? I would unscrew it from the trans and test that it is working properly and not shorted. If it is bad, it would be a simple fix.. buy a new switch. I wouldn't just go out and buy one though, because that may not be the problem. try that first and report back..
