I bought my car used..and my back up lights have never worked. I've changed the bulbs so I know that's not the problem. If it's the wiring is it something I can do myself? And...are there any tricks I can try BEFORE I have to dismantle my car?
Pull out the bulbs put ur car in reverse without the engine running and the key switch on and check for 12 volts at the bulb plugs if no voltage check for a blown fuse

Hi ,Check the light bulb,see if its seat in the seats properly 'for earth' and the light terminals for dirts ,grease,or corrosion.clean if needs to.I think its a Earth problems
There is not much you can do, Some cars are just that You can get higher wattage bulbs, But in most Provinces & States they are (iligal) to use them, There only for off road use,
Hi, there is no relay, and the plate light run off the same fuse as the tail lights. The problem must be in the wiring or sockets in the back of the truck.
the square box that all 3 lights are held in by can be taken out, just pry it on the top or bottom with a flat head screw driver, once you get it out you should see the wires that connect to the buttons,there are four tabs, 2 on each side, that you can just push in and the back panel should come off, it will look like a circuit board. twist the light bulb left or right and you should see how it comes out, just replace the bulb, and put back in and twist. should only have to twist 1/4 of a turn. snap everything back in place and it should be working. hope this helps.
Do you own a test light? Check for power at wires behind socket? Clean socket good , check contact spots for bulb & clean any rusty side of the socket with emery cloth, or sandpaper, for good contact also.
