I checked the fuse box under the hood and the one on the driver side. All fuses are okay so maybe the wiring harness is cut at some point. I have 0.4 ohm of resistance (could probably have more with cleaner conductive parts) between pins A-E on the neutral safety switch plug when reverse is engaged and no continuity in all other modes. With engine on and off, I never read any volts where I guess I should read 12V (before the switch to pin A) so I am thinking of bypassing this apparently cut wire by adding one with a 15A fuse hooked directly to the + of the battery. I based my plan from the wiring diagrams in the Chilton (it even has a correct color code for my jeep the Haynes does not have). Applying directly 12V on pin E turns on my backup light so the after-switch part of the circuit is good. Any comments/ tips on my plan ? I'll post some follow-ups on that. Another question: my parking brakes are fine but the button to release the lever has a very small course, maybe 4mm. I don't think this is normal. Is there any way I can unstuck this button assuming this its course is not the regular one ? Thanks Lionel |
Re: Backups lights not working on Laredo'91
I can't see anything wrong with your power supply idea. I think you
should follow the cable back to see if it maybe got melted by the exhaust or pinched by a mount or something. I think the button on the brake screws on with a set nut, not sure if it can easily be adjusted or not.

Re: Backups lights not working on Laredo'91
As promised, here is a follow-up. I've done what I explained before
and the backup-lights are now operational again. A wire was probably dead before the neutral safety switch. I hooked directly an extra wire to the battery and the wire has itself a 15A fuse.
