Where is located the backup light switch
Hi
My lights and camera won’t work always some days are good some not.
I’m looking for the switch in my car but I don’t find where is located.
Anybody can help me send me a picture or an information about where I can find it?
My caravan is a STX model 2008.
Where I can find to buy a new one?
Thank you a lot.

Unless the info I have is wrong, the backup lamp switch is integrated into the range sensor and can’t be replaced individually.
The range sensor tells the PCM when reverse has been selected, and the PCM tells the relevant modules via the data circuit. The range sensor is inside the transmission under the valve body. The TIPM is what actually turns on the bulbs and the camera circuits are wired in parallel with the bulbs, so with a helper you can check whether or not voltage is getting to the bulbs with a meter and narrow down whether it’s a power or ground problem.
Since it’s an intermittent issue, you can also unplug the wiring harness from the transmission (disconnect negative battery cable first) and inspect the terminals for corrosion and loose connections. Clean if needed and apply a light film of dielectric grease over the female terminals before plugging it back in.
