2003 RX 300 reverse lights

[henryc]

Dear all

Anyone had to replace the part on the gearbox required when reverse lights stop working?

Mechanic says it’s a nightmare job?

Any advice would be welcome 

cheers

Are you sure the problem is at the gearbox end?

The reverse light switch is part of the neutral safety switch (makes sure that the car only starts in P or N) so are you getting any other symptoms to do with starting that would indicate a fault with that switch and have you definitely ruled out a simpler solution, like a fuse perhaps?
