Reverse (Back-up) Lights

My Ranger works just fine but I have this problem with my Ford Windstar (1999 3.8L v-6) as the tail lights, brake lights, and back-up lights do not work properly. I have been informed, following a $300.00 labor tab for investigating the problem, that there is an REM (Rear Electronic Module) included as part of the lighting and power mangement system that is bad and will cost $438.00 parts/$170.00 labor to replace. This is what is standing between me and my vehicle inspection so right now my Windstar has a new place - parked. I cannot just go to a salvage yard and find another REM as these have to be "PROGRAMMED" before they will function so I am going to try some wire splicing and bi-passing tonight and this week-end.

I am sorry that this does not help with your problem, but good luck!

Should be on the drivers side of the trans. At the top will be the neutral sense switch & below that is the Reverse lamp switch.

Bend a paper clip, shove it into the connector & turn the key. Got backup lights?
