Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Reverse Lights Stay On - Engine Just Started Overheating?

1)Reverse lights stay on all the time. Tranny is an automatic. The gearshift indicator in the dash works normally. Is it the tranny electrical switch thats bad?

2)Engine just started overheating. I know for a fact the belt to the water pump is loose. Whats the proper way to tighten up that belt? I know how to take the front off the car...just don't know how to tighten the water pump belt. Its the motor that has the separate water pump outside the block, AEB engine.

Passat (B5) :: Back-up Lights Not Working / Faint Glow From Left Side When In Reverse

I've got an '04 Passat and I'm having trouble with the back-up lights. The fuse was blown (which I replaced), and I just finished swapping out the bulbs. Only one of the bulbs looked burned out.

The lights are still not working, although I get a very faint glow from the left side when in reverse. I'm really puzzled that I'd get a faint light from just one side.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: Reverse Lights Only Come On Between Park And Reverse

On my '96 ranger with an automatic the reverse lights only come on between park and reverse, but once put into reverse they go out. The gear selector on the dash reads right, when the needle is on"P"it's in park, "R" drops into reverse and so forth. Do I need to adjust the shifter cable on the side of the transmission? If so how do I do this (I kinda need step by step with removal and adjusting, I've already tried and couldn't get it off the bracket). It's starting to drive me nuts, I've searched on the web for hours with no luck. I've even posted on other sites with zero answers.

Phaeton :: Reverse Lights Not Coming On When Car Is In Reverse

I just had a problem come up a few weeks ago where the check lights indicator comes on. We've narrowed down the problem to the white reverse lights not coming on when the car is in reverse.

I had my Phaeton mechanic look at it and he could not find the problem although apparently there is a resistance difference between the brake lights and reverse lights leading him to believe it may be the bulb holders (they are corroded).

The reverse lights connect to many modules so it could be anything.

Passat (B5) :: 1998 - How To Make Front Fog Lights Available In Euroswitch City Lights (Parking Lights) Mode

1998 Passat 1.8t B5 sedan. OEM fog lights up front. No rear fog lights.

I recently upgraded to a "Euro" light switch to get more flexibility with my lights. Put tape on the TFL pin to disable DRLs in OFF Mode. Put tape on the 56d pin to disable DRLs in CITY LIGHTS (Parking Lights) mode. Completely successful -- no DRLs, just as taping the TFL pin on the original light switch accomplished long ago.

BEFORE I did any taping this time, I installed the Euro switch AS IS and tested all of its modes and physical positions:

(1) OFF: No fog light position available (switch knob will not pull out). As expected and okay.

(2) FULL ON Fog lights come on (but who the hell can see them?!?) when switch knob is pulled out one stop into the fog light position -- and the little front fog symbol on the switch lights up. Again, expected and just fine.

(3) CITY LIGHTS (Parking Lights): The fog lights position is physically available by pulling the switch knob out one stop... BUT THE PARKING LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON (regardless of ignition switch position, emergency hand brake position, etc., etc.) And the little fog light symbol on the switch does not light up. (Not surprisingly, pulling the knob further out to the REAR fog light position does nothing either.)

THIS IS NOT GOOD - since with a Euroswitch one ought to be able to manually select and de-select the fog lights while in CITY LIGHTS (Parking Lights) mode!

How to make my FRONT FOG LIGHTS available in Euroswitch CITY LIGHTS (Parking Lights) mode...?

Ford Wiring/Electrical :: Reverse Lights Wiring - Adding 2 LED Spot Lights

What I am trying to do it put in 2 led spot light for added backing up light. What i want to do is have them turn on when put into reverse but also have a switch i can use to turn them on when not in reverse. Just need to know what relay I need and if it even can be done.

I was also thinking of just taping into the wiring harness and adding a wire that goes to the spot lights and another wire that goes to a switch that I could turn on and supply power to the light when not in reverse (I know it will light the revers light also) but is it ok to do that?

Touareg :: Reverse Lights A Little Dim

Touareg's reverse lights seem a little dim? I was out in the 'burbs for turkey day and as I was backing out of a driveway to go home this evening I had a tough time with visibility. Granted it was raining a little and I'm used to backing in the city where there is always illumination from street lights, signage, other cars, etc, but it seemed to me that my previous Mercedes had a reverse light that was a lot brighter. And yes, both bulbs were working. to replace the OEM reverse lights with brighter ones?

GMC :: 1994 - Reverse Lights Do Not Come On

My reverse lights do not come on when I put my truck in reverse. I got out my multi meter and there was voltage at the switch, so I put a jumper in the connector and the lights lit up.

Thinking it was a bad switch so I replaced the switch, still no lights. So the big question is : what to take apart to find whatever it is that pushes the switch.

The truck details are : 1994 GMC K1500 350TBI 5 speed, the reverse light switch is on the drivers side of the transmission.

Phaeton :: Reverse Lights Not Working

My reverse lights aren't working. I assume the trunk cable assembly is fine, as all my trunk opening and latching works and there is no viable damage to the cable. I figured the bulbs were burned out but I pulled the trunk liner today and at least one of the bulbs looks intact. I don't see any fuse listed for reverse lights.

Golf IV R32 :: Reverse Lights Inoperable

I realize that this has been covered before in some capacity, but I can't find anything beyond replacing the back-up light switch. I've checked the bulbs (both are fine), the fuse, and have replaced the switch on the transmission. it did nothing to fix my problem.

Golf IV R32 :: Reverse Lights Not Working

Checked the bulbs, checked the connection....What is going on here. Is there a switch in the transmission or some crap that must have gone bad?

In good news. I have my rear fogs wired so that both sides work. ...the reverse lights stopped working like a week ago. So a crap rear fog install is not to blame.

Renault - Clio :: Reverse Lights Always On

I have a mk2 Clio 1.2 petrol with a manual transmission which I recently got as a first car a a family member was going to scrap it. I have have fitted a clutch and after doing this I noticed that the reverse lights are on all of the time when the key is on. I am unsure whether the lights were like this before I did the clutch, but I have gone back and ensured the the plug was fitted to the reverse light switch cleaning out the connector. This made no difference and (strangely to me) with the plug off of the switch the lights remain on. I have checked the wiring in the area I have worked for a short and have found nothing. The only thing I can think that is left that it can be is the reverse light switch, but I'm not convinced with the fact that the lights are still on with the switch unplug.

GMC :: 1994 - Reverse Lights Don't Work?

Ok so the GMC has another one of those tiny issues that we all hate to have. I don't know if its been this way since I bought it or if its just since we pulled the transmission to put on a new clutch, but my reverse lights don't work. Every other light on the truck works and I checked the bulbs and the fuses and found nothing. I even checked to see if the sensor wire was hooked up to the transmission since we pulled it out and it is.

I have an online subscription to Chilton's and have looked at the wiring diagrams time and time again and can't figure this one out. my real question at this point is how the switch in the transmission works, can I just rewire a bit and direct wire through it or does it have to go through the main harness somehow. the details on the truck are as follows: 1994 GMC K1500 5 speed 350 TBI.
