hey guys. i'm in need of some help. i have a reverse cam hooked up to the reverse light cable and it was working fine until yesterday, when i realized it wasn't working anymore. i blamed it on a connection of the camera because i was doing some rewiring but then i realized my reverse light itself is not working!
checked the camera's connections, everything looks fine. i have a tester that i use for checking cables and the cable is just not giving power. my father thought it'd be a fuse, but we went through all of them and none of them are blown, everything is good in that fuse box.

question is, is there another fuse box dedicated to the car lights? all my other rear lights are working, everything except the reverse light. does anybody know if those lights are in series and one bad light bulb might stop the flow of electricity to the side where i'm testing maybe? or any other ideas? please help, dont like not having a reverse light!

thanks!

one blown will not=2 not lighting

there are 2 fuse boxes in the engine bay, check both to see which ones have the reverse lights fuse

if not that, then go over your connections again and make sure that water somehow didn't get on any of the wires...

good luck

It's in the fuse box to the lower right corner of the engine cover...

thanks that helps a lot! i'm on lunch break right now, as soon as i get out of work tonight i'm going to take a look. i hope it's something like a blown fuse and not something worse. it seems difficult to have water damage those cables because they are all under the carpeting material and i dont have any leaks or any way for water to get in there (i think) but we'll check for that too. thanks!

brake out that electrical schematic for the rear lights and start doing some voltage test .

hey man. i just tried finding a fuse that had anything to do with rear lights and couldn't find one. we opened and checked every fuse in both boxes in the engine bay, neither one had a fuse labeled for lights and all of the fuses were working properly...

are there any more fuse boxes? it's a little absurd how difficult this has been when we've done a lot more difficult things to this car already...any more help greatly appreciated. i still dont have a working reverse light

got everything sorted out today. it wasn't a fuse problem, it was the camera's acc cable being bent along the way. or so it seems. we now have reverse lights, camera and all other connections working well. thanks for the help guys!
