Went out tonight and noticed my back-up lights are not working...what gives, the whole tailight assemblies are maybe a month old.
I mean it was a plug in assembly.
Any guesses??
Thanks

86 CJ7, 258Jack-Jack did pass the time by typing:
Bulbs, fuse, bad reverse switch, gremlins.
I'd start by checking fuses.
and don't forget -- bad ground...
You probably used them too much in daytime and overloaded them.
Check to make sure you don't have a lot of corrosion. I've had to re-build sections of the rear harness to get my tail lights working again.

-------- If you have a manual transmission, there's a 2 socket wire that slides over the 2 prongs that stick out of the switch on the driver's side of the tranny. I have an 82 CJ-7 and have the same problem from time to time. It hangs down in plain view when it pops off.

You either have burned out bulbs or a dead or unplugged switch. If it was a bad ground (the mounting bolts are the ground), the brake lights wouldn't work also.
Did you put stock assemblies in? Have you been messing with any wiring near the transmission? Did you put high watt bulbs in and maybe burn out the switch?
