Transmission position switch?
Does the 05 HCH use a transmission switch for reverse detection to light up the reversing lights?
In my 05 auto HCH I have to slightly push the gear selector while in reverse in order for the reverse lights to come on. I can hear a relay clicking in the glove box area when it hits just right and the lights come on. Is this the relay going out or is there a switch/sensor in the transmission? |

I just posted the same question to an 03 hch named "reverse lights not working". Hopefully one of us get a reply or link.

Re: Transmission position switch?
Old thread but reviving this.
Mine was doing the same thing. When I put it in reverse the indicator on the dash was dark and no reverse lights. If it wiggled the shifter a little I would hear clicking as well as get the indicator on the dash plus reverse lights. I just pulled the airbox out, the bracket that supports the air box then I was able to remove the gear selector switch on top of the transmission. It's really easy. After that there's about 6 screws holding it together. Remove them, take it apart, lightly sand the contacts, reassemble. All works great now. |
