Q: How Do You Troubleshoot and Test a Back-Up Light Switch and System on Toyota Avalon and Toyota Solara?
A: With the key in On, put the shift lever in Reverse to check if back-up lights come on. If not, inspect the ignition switch, GAUGE fuse, bulbs, and wire harness. If lights stay on constantly, examine the wire harness. If only one light works, check its bulb and harness. To test the back-up light switch, disconnect the connector, unscrew the switch from the transaxle top, and use an ohmmeter to check continuity when the plunger is depressed/released. If the switch malfunctions, replace it.
