[V6-12v] reverse lights out on 1995 A6 Wagon...

[Rob]

My dad and I discussed this and he asked if the shift indictor was showing R
which it was and I believe that rules out the multi (mal) function switch on
the tranny.  I’m gonna have to open up the bently CD and look up the wiring
diagram, as much as I abhor that digital manual…

 

Thanks though…

Ps also thanks to the solder info, though I have been in electronics for
close to 20 years now heh I know my way around connectors and solder also
:-)

Had this problem many years ago on the 95 A6 and it was the trans switch
that is located on the transmission housing. It's a pain to get to and it's
expensive also since it's a dealer only part. The part cost ~$200 and labor
was iirc was 2 hours worth. I believe the exhaust had to be disconnected in
order  to get at the switch.
