on the mr2 its tripped by a metal strip running over teh lever arm in teh shifter console...not sure if it would be the same for you?

when i replaced my battery today the auto sparky i bought the battery off reckoned it was the plug thats under the thermostat housing... the warrent man didnt mind that my reverse lights didnt work, so im not swapping the switch:P

The autosparky would be right. You sure its not just a broken or disconnected wire somewhee around there?

if its a conversion then whoever did it probably could find where to connect the wires at the fuse box so just didnt worry bout it . we are having this trouble with mine at the mo and may end up just running new wires to the reverse lights

on my haynes manual for 4ages and 4afes they reckon its on the gbox nxt to thermostat housing, may different as yours is a 4agze and a conversion

by **soopachargen** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 11:26 am

nah its definately the dodacky under the thermostat... im not taking the thermo stat housing off just for a giggle, it's almost deffinately a wiring problem but i passed my warrent so im carefree:P

dammit, do you have a cert? i need a dodgy wof place!

by **crnkin** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 12:12 pm

reverse lights arent a warrantable item, unless you have one gong, one not (can be mistaken for indicators or something)

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 12:15 pm

^ im pretty sure they are.

well they should be

by **soopachargen** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 3:14 pm

yeah the cars been certed since before i got it. i was reading the WOF handbook thingy as found in the FAQ section and it says they should be in good condition. i consider good condition to be working, the WOF man likes it so im happy... pity he didnt like my quick release bumper or the fact that u need to hold the bonnet catch up with a stone to get it to lock properly.

these 4agze rollas seem to be poping up every where now. I have had mine for a while and now is seems every1 wants to do the conversion. good idea tho. Makes for a quick toyota wagon.

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:35 pm

he doesnt have a wagon :twisted:

only a hatch (i think)

yeah they are all copying you :roll:

im sure there have been 4agze'd corollas around for a long long time

by **soopachargen** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 6:42 pm

my cars been certed since early 03, i got it early last year, its rough as but its fun. The sc14 conversions been pissing me off a bit lately :S

sorry to bring this back up and take it a lil off topic but, i have replace my ecu with a link (reverse lights go to ecu right or have i found the speedo sender?) and was wondering, where the other end of the connection is (where I hook the 2 wires up to make my resverse lights switch on)

the reverse light sw on just about all manual FWD toyota's,

Is a white 2 pin plug with two red wires with a (possibly blue) trace colour thru them.

And they do not go to the ecu.
One comes straight fom the fuse box,
the other goes down the back to the lights.

Yep found it, was the one I was looking at.

Figured it didnt, must be the interior part I was looking at ....

... so i'll just match those 2 wires on the cabin plugs and it should work

cheers,

Man iI seem like a retard, thanks to those that put up with me
