I just wanted to replace my reverse & tail lights.

I found a 10mm to take out 2 screws (per tail light to remove them), then tugged & they popped out. I replaced all the light no issues, then test them. The brake lights where brighter, but the reverse lights still did not work. So I go to find the fuse, I found the fuses for the brake lights (they where still good). Nothing for the revere lights.

Well, what else could it be?

Update: I found the fuse for it, it was under everything tucked under the fender. I pulled the fuse, & it was still good. So that leaves me thinking it’s the reverse switch. I take it to a shop on Tuesday (thanksgiving long-weekend) & have a proper tech deal with it.

I dont know much about the Juke (thank god), but it might be that you have 2 fuse boxes, one somewhere in the cockpit (usually near the pedals, under a cover) and one in the engine compartment. Maybe thats where the fuse is for the reverse lights?

Grounding issue? We had a similar issue on my sibling’s car, which turned out to be a bad grounding point.

Bad switch on the transmission?

There’s one one inside the cabin, 2 in the engine bay. One is under the fender & my big hands don’t like that.

hook up your brake lights to the accelerator
