RE: {Chrysler 300} '56 300B Reverse Lights Not Working

Brian -

 

When you jump across the wires on the switch, do the backup lights work ?

 

Are you sure that the housing properly grounds to the body ? Jump the housing to bare metal in your trunk. Do they now work ?

 

Connect a 'hot' lead to the socket wire. Does it now light ? I've had sockets where there was enough corrosion on the brass center terminal to cause the bulb not to light.

 

You can use a Circuit Tester (not a Continuity Tester, which is the one with the AA battery) to verify that you're getting power to the backup lights.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} '56 300B Reverse Lights Not Working

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a reverse light problem.  I've gone through the wires, replaced the bulbs and visually confirmed the reverse light switch on the 5-button TorqueFlite push-button assembly is mechanically working.  All other lights are working properly. Any suggestions for what else to check?

Before purchasing a new reverse lamp switch, I wanted to make sure I'm not missing any tricks per say?

Thanks,

Brian
