I have an 86 irocz reverse lights wont work but for a split second when i go to put it in reverse i thought maybe the bulbs were getting close to burning out so i replaced them same problem exist. Anybody know what to do?

 

Your neutral safety switch needs to be adjusted. It's attached to the side of the shift mechanism.

 

Not looking at it right now so how do i adjust it?

 

Take off the shift plate and it'll be obvious.

 

Alrite thanks I'll take a look in the morning thanks

 

attached to side of shifter mech ,has 6 wire connector going to it

 

stupid question but how do i adjust it?

Loosen the two or three screws that fasten the switch to the shifter and rotate the switch fore/aft until the back-up lights stay on. Before you button it up, confirm that the engine cranks only in P and N and not in any other range.

 

Heres what mine looks like. Im guessing your talking bout the silver part that attaches the plug to the the rest of the shifter assembly?
(The yellow wires and black and red are ran for switches so ignore those)

 

 

And god said let there be light!!!! thanks paulo you saved me a huge headache and having to waste money taken it in to be looked at

 

I got my camaro thru auto repairables. The driver's side took a hard hit replaced the ¼ and the door already. But the previous owner put in a B&M ratchet shifter. The reverse ( or back-up lights ) aren't working. I see a blue and a green wire that was clipped. Could one of these be wired to a switch?
I like the idea of it being hard to shift. If I ever get car-jacked, I'd just put it in park and lmao.
On another plus side, my wife can't drive it either.

 

 

Is the same switch applicable for a '91 RS 5-speed? I'm having the same issue with intermitent/no reverse lights.

 

Probably not. The manual transmission probably uses another switch. Most likely it's plugged into the transmission.

Perhaps someone else can confirm this for you.

 

I think that is correct, I am pretty sure it is in the tranmission

 

Yes, left/driver side of the transmission body has a two-prong plug, with a dark-blue wire and a light-green wire. The dark-blue wire should have power with key-on, the light-green wire sends the power when it is activated by the reverse gear in the transmission.

Hope this helps.

I have a 92 camaro t5 and when i shift into reverse the lights come on but when i release the clutch and start moving the lights flicker on and off at different intervals. Any help would be much appreciated

 

 

im having the same issue on a 84 trans am wiith a T5, how could i fix it?

 

https://www.holley.com/products/driv...SABEgJe4vD_BwE you need this that mounts to the shifter and acouple screws

 

The T-5 RLS is on the side of the transmission. Driver's side, rear of the case, right in front of where the extension housing bolts to it. Very eeeeeezy to replace. Might need tightening. Might just be the connector loose or something like that.
