reverse back up lights always on

bradycomputers · 08-29-2006, 07:57 PM

My reverse/back up lights stay on, even when my 2001 Windstar is in park or drive. They stay on even if the vehicle is turned off. I replaced the neutral safety switch, but the problem persist. Thanks for any input.

Just a guess if you have a tralier hitch and plug the plug maybe corroded and feeding back to the reverse lights.

Thanks for the quick reply, but no hitch. Any other ideas? Thanks

Try looking behind the jack you may have a wire traped.

Do the backup lights come on as soon as you put the key in the ON position?

As I understand it, the backup lights are controlled by the Transmission Range Sensor. This is located on top of the transaxle under the intake hose and air filter housing and has the cable from the shifter attached to it.

Try again the REM controls all this Behind the jack!! Look for a fuses.Or your Break pedal switch look to see if the wire is traped at you break pedal the wire maybe to tight. that should help.
