My reverse lights just stopped working on my 1990 Civic LX 5-speed. Anyone
know a quick-fix or this? Any info or URL would be appreciated!

Thanx!

Jonathan

I'd start by checking for a fuse for these in the dash fusebox. It should be a
little to the left and below the steering column. The fusebox should have a
plastic guide in it to say which fuse is which.

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.autozone.com" target="_blank">www.autozone.com</a> has free repair guides specific to the 1990 Civic LX.

Also, maybe check the files at
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/workshopmanuals2.html" target="_blank">http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/workshopmanuals2.html</a> , especially under the circa
1990 Concerto. See especially
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/ConcertoManual/62sk301/16-170.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/ConcertoManual/62sk301/16-170.pdf</a>

There is a second fuse box under the hood. Probably on the car's right, just aft
of the battery and near the top.

If it's a blown fuse, replace and see if this fixes it.

I have a 91 Civic. This is where I'd start.

In addition to what Caroline wrote, I would suggest checking the reverse
switch on the transmission. It has two wires going to it. On my '87 and
on my '94 Civic the wire colors were Yellow and Green/Black. Odds are
yours uses the same colors. If you unplug the wires from the switch,
then turn on the ignition and short the two wires together, the backup
lights should come on. If they do, it means your switch is bad. If they
don't, the problem is elsewhere.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

If that had been the problem, I wouldn't have posted the question... Wink
