2000 buick century.....no reverse lights

[harry4924]

Hello i have a 2000 model Buick century and i am having issues with my reverse lights. I have tried to replace the neutral switch by the transmission and that didn't help. I cant seem to find any broken wires and if you wire up the lights to a power source they come on. Just wondering if anyone has had this issue before. This is not my car and I usually dont work on them but I am trying to help a friend out.

I also forgot to add that there are no other issues with the car. The brake lights work fine as well as the license plate lights.

Check the wiring by the trunk hinge. The wiring tends to chafe and break eventually. There could be a broken wire there.

Thanks ALOT! My wife took her car in for service, had them change signal/brake bulb but backup lights she left to me. bulbs looked good. Wire was broke at trunk hinge. (I hate to think of what it would have cost at dealer) Thanks again. Paul
