Need a bit of info on this...

Just finished epoxy coating the inside and am partially reassembling the car so that it moves under its own power for the guys at the body shop to patch the floors

Is the back up switch done in the semi circulation neutral safety switch or is it a separate switchReverse lights have never worked (column c4 auto)...have a nos replacement (d2oz-15520-a) but I don’t remember removing one when I stripped the car out and idiotically didn’t take enough pics...can’t find one in the parts either

Back up lights have never worked...has the switch possibly been removed at some point or is it not for this model? If it is needed then where is it located?

Thanks

Greg

I'm interested in this as well. My back up lights in my wagon have never worked either and to be honest I don't know where to start. Hope someone can dumb it down for me so I can get it fixed one day.
