You're probably kidding....but you'd likely be at fault, and rightfully so. It's our responsibility to make sure all of our lights (and the rest of the vehicle for that matter) are working properly before taking it out into the public.

Glad you found it.
Yup, that's factory. That's the plug for the back up light switch when you have a 3 spd. manual. In that case there's a dummy plug for the harness under the dash that bypasses the NSS switch assy.

I spliced that wire today trying to fix the reverse lights, and they're on when the key is on no matter what position the shifter is in. Any ideas? It's a C6
