liberty reverse lights

how do these things work?

I have two wires - blk/yel (feeds TCU) and brn/yel that feeds the reverse lights. putting the car in reverse connects the two but for the life of me I have no reverse lights. L series reverse wire is lt grn and that is correct.

are the liberty rev lights relayed??

are you sure the switch is okay on the gearbox?

Chris the l ones are relayed.Mine i wired from the ej auto loom for the reverse light[one wire,brown i think] and into the l reverse wire [green/black]that connected to the l auto shifter.When i was trying to work out what wire it was i could here a relay clicking on and off .

ok I went past that. mine taps directly into the L reverse wire int eh kickpanel. think I know where its broke now that I have the diagrams for the legacy. I have one wire confused. need to tear a harness down again to find one blk/yel wire that feeds the switch. everything else works

found it!

missed a wire when I taped the main harness. have lights now.

there are two blk/yel wires in that main lead - one feeds the trans earth via the TCU and the other feeds the rev switch.

does anyone have a L series fuse panel layout in english. mine is in japanese and I need to find 4 IGN circuits..

reverse lights - SORTED! removed the original wiring from the L series manual wiring. still can't work out why the solenoid is chattering in the gearbox though... (ideas?)

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 7:47 am

Can't help with the noise,my dutyC is hooked up to a switch and i don't hear any noise engaging or disengaging from the solnoid.Weird.

is this wile the ignition is on but the engine is not running?

I have heard this in a few different cars. Dont worry about it, you will find it goes away once the engine is running and you have some line pressure

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:44 pm

it is. can't tell if it is there when the car is running. can't hear over the open exhaust - drives and shifts gears so to me nothing is wrong with it.

I'll have another listen tonight when I do the speedo drive.

ta!
