By reverse lights on my Evo IX went out recently. At first they would work when they wanted to and at times, I would have to take the gear out of reverse and then rein-gauge into reverse two or three times before the lights would come on. Now they don't work at all.

So today I took off the rear bumper and made sure all wires were connected and the connecters were clean. Everything checked out.
I have the JDM rear bumper so there are two unplugged connectors just chillen, not even covered with electrical tape. Possible that they might have been exposed to water.

Is there a fuse for just the reverse lights? Any help appreciated.

 

probably fuse. look up the fuses in your owners manual. i think it's there.

 

Your reverse light switch may have failed. IIRC it's on top of the trans.

There is a thread on here somewhere, I'd find it and post a link but it requires too much effort on my phone.

 

Yup its the reverse sensor on top of the trans..same thing happened to my MR. Pretty easy to replace, just buy the part on one of the parts sights and look up the tutorials.

 

I started my EVO VIII GSR for the first time in a few months and found out this same very thing. Im pretty sure its the reverse sensor on the trans. Anyone know what it costs and how easy it is to replace?

 

Super easy to replace, it just unscrews out of the tranny. I did mine with a clutch swap.

MR (6 Speed) - MN132387
SE/GSR - (5 Speed) - MD730979

I got mine from JNZTuning with a few other parts. But their website shows 17.99.

^ Thanks very much!

 

My pig tail was melted when my switch went. Anyone know the part number for the pigtail?
