My back up lights are not working in my 2008 base M6. Checked all fuses and bulbs seem to be good as they light up when I unlock the car. Ive searched and only found info on this issue in the c5 section. I ordered a replacement switch for my M6 tranny but before go through the work of replacing it I figured I would check to see if im missing anything. Anyone have this issue? Find it very annoying that a back up switch would go with only 26k on it.

Thanks
Mike

Switch is easy to check with a Ohm meter.

Out of reverse/ball out, meter should read zero .

In reverse/ball pushed in, should show resistance.

The only no fun part is getting under the car to pull it/ to check it.

Exactly. Once im under there bad or not might as well change it. From the looks of it exhaust and everything has to come down to remove the drivetrain plate to get to the tranny. Grrrrrr

I guess I was just hoping there was some other stupid cause/easy fix I was unaware of.
