back up light switch

[kickstartjoe]

Anyone know where this is, and the part number? My back up lights do not work. Fuse is ok.
2008 XLT
Thanks,

There's a bunch of posts on this Forum somewhere, and I "think" you have to adjust it before you install it or when you install it ... or something like that.

** sorry, MyBad. thought it was brake light switch **

I've not found anything on the forum. Nor have I found one listed on the Internet. Even went to foreparts.com and they don't list one.

Circuit should be in the neutral safety switch.

Don't think that switch fits AT. Maybe manual trans.

Could both bulbs be burned out at the same time? Voltage check?

I thought this was all controlled through the GEM with the transmission position sensor.

Thanks, but according to the website, that doesn't fit my car.

What is the GEM?

My Expedition is a former police car, with the column shift. Don't know if that makes a difference.

The GEM is the bit behind the fuse box/the box itself. There could be a bad splice somewhere if it was a cop car. You've pretty much gotta start tracing backwards from the lights to see where power is/isn't getting to.

This is an older model, but the basic troubleshooting is the same.
