Default 01 gt reverse lights on when break and lights on

o1 that when i have the lights on parking lights or headlights and when i break the reverse lights come on with everything else but if i go to reverse they do not come on? any ideas before i start tracing out wires or just pulling those bulbs. Thanks

that sounds like a wiring nightmare, is it an auto or manual? the manual trans has a sensor right on the side of the trani so when the shift fork inside the trans moves towards reverse the lights come on. im not sure ow the auto one works tho

if the lights are off and you brake,does the reverse lights come on as well. If so, the bulb sockets are in the wrong place....If not, good luck.........

well i will look when i get home that is funny as hell though because the previos owner put different covers on the back and he was an idiot so that is a VERY high possibility. and you answer is yes they come on even if the lights are off.
