How do you find the reverse light fuse?
The reverse light fuse (called “backup light” in the manual) is actually fused via the IG1 circuit. It’s located in the under steering wheel dash fuse box. It’s 10 amp mini blade and is the middle top location.
How do you check if your reverse lights are working?
Testing Reverse Lights Turn the ignition switch to the “on” position (without starting it), then put the transmission in reverse with the parking brake on. It is very important to make sure the parking brake is on. Once that is set, get out of the vehicle and look at the reverse lights, they should be illuminated.

What does the Red Wire on a car radio do?
The red wire is for power. Either connect to the backup wires in the car or the backup wire attached to the radio if you have an aftermarket radio. Sorry, there was a problem.
Why do the brake and turn lights come on together?
The brake and turn signal share the same wire and bulb for each side so this doesn’t make sense. All the rear lights share the same ground so if the rear ground was lost the brake light could find ground though the parking light circuit but the reverse light would not light up.
