Hi everyone,
I spent a day trying to figure out why the reverse lights aren't lighting up when I put my automatic transmission on reverse (I even dismantled the whole shifting stick assembly...).
I made searches on this forum but couldn't find anything valuable, except for the L-300_87-92 wiring diagram, and the fuses box diagram. Bulbs and fuses are OK.
According to the wiring diagram, there is a reverse lamp switch somewhere, but I am not sure of where it is. Are the reverse lights activated by a switch located close to the transmission?
Historical fact: The previous owner said he was backing up the shifting stick all the way to L before returning to D; he was doing it everytime he was shifting forward in order to close the "reverse lights". Last winter I began having trouble to get to L or 2 (it was stiffier everyday), until it simply stopped going further than D.
Today I found this part was broken (see picture out of another tread):

I removed some broken pieces out of it and found myself able again to shift all the way down to L. But that's when I found reverse lights were not working anymore ... (it could have been like this for a long time already)
Is this related to the reverse lights? Or does anyone have an idea where else to find the reverse light switch?
Thank's in advance,
Davy

reverse lamps / lights not working
Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?
