    Default No reverse lights?

    I have stock 2014 RT and the reverse lights are not working.
    Stuff I have done to trouble shoot.
    • Removed the tail end of the Spyder to expose the wiring harness.
    • Started the Spyder with emergency brake on and put it in reverse.
    • Unplugged the bulb and checked it. (looks great)
    • Used a volt meter on the bulb socket to test for power. (nada)
    • Inspected the fuses but I don't see one for "just reverse"
    • Re-seated the harness
    • Tested all the other lights.


    I have no power to the either left or right socket.
    All other lights are working just fine. Running, brake, turn, etc.
    The Spyder runs fine, we had a 200 mile weekend trip last week.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    It goes into reverse OK, right? If so, there is either a loose wire, broken wire, or cluster problem. The backup lights are powered directly from the cluster. There is no fuse or relay in the circuit. It's probably time for the dealer to be involved.

    I got it. It was a loose wire in the left side harness and it's fixed. I replaced the connector and it's good to go.
    Thanks.
