I recently purchased a 1995 nissan 240sx le edition it had a 5 speed swap done by someone and the sensors on the tranny were not hooked up other than the speed sensor for the guage cluster. The reverse light sensor had all of the wires pulled out of it so i purchased a new sensor put it on and ran a wire to the 3 plug down in the fuse box and when i go on reverse they dont light up i checked all the fuses everything looks good anybody have any suggestions on what to look for?
Please pm me
Thank you

I cannot really help you much, but my reverse lights do not work as well.....only they have not worked this whole year. Its probably a bad ground but it hasn't affected me yet so I'm not too worried about it!! GLWA.

Reverse light wiring is one of the most basic circuit of our cars.

Please search Google for "1995 Nissan 240SX FSM" and looking up pages EL-53 and 54.

It's not difficult to rewire it from scratch.
