Izuzu bighorn auto reversing switch location ?

hi i have a 97 izuzubighorn 3.1 diesel automaticand am having problems with the reversing lights and beeper not working ,sometimes it does workbut most of the time it does not work ,when it works the r on the dash works and so does beeper and reversing lights ,i have looked around the gear stick but have had no luck ,it selects 1 2 3 d n and park on the dash but no r ,has anyone had this problem and sorted it thanks

Look for something with singlewire on it sticking out the side of the box ,unscrew i t & get new 1 its thereverse switchdoes lights &beeperetc

elect70 i can only see 2 one on the drivers side of the box with two wires on it and one on the passenger side ,have you done one before cheers

! will be park swtch & otherreverse switch,Mostare samebut dont know which isreverse 1, Trial & error !checkservice /repair manual onlinemightshow you location.

thanks elect70 i,ll try to find it online

Forget what elect70 said its a auto not a manual. On the drivers side of the trans is the inhibtor switch will have a around 21mm nut and a couple of 10mm bolts holding it on. Take it off and there will be some srews holding it together open it up and clean up the inside and will be good to go the rev lights work off it.

as above pull apart slight regrease you may need to adjust make sure starts in park and nuetral the holes are sloted sometimes can be a bit seized on the shaft.

hi thanks i have cleaned well degreased drivers side of trans and i see a senser about 21 mm with 2 wires coming from it red with bluebut cant see the two 10mm bolts you speak of ,mines a 97model could it be different! or have i missed something

no its on the selector shaft lots of wires loom travels over top of tranny and connects firewall lh side

oh ,ill have to put it up on the ramps and have a good look cheers

just as soon as this rotton weather clears :)

this may be a bit beyond me :(
may have to put it in the shop
