Why wont your backup lights work on 1996 gmc somoma?

Here are a few reasons why your backup lights might not be working on your 1996 GMC Sonoma:

- Fuse: Check the fuse for the backup lights. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.

- Reverse Light Switch: Check the reverse light switch. This is a small switch that is located on the transmission. When you put the transmission into reverse, the switch closes and sends power to the backup lights. If the switch is faulty, it will not send power to the backup lights. Check to make sure the switch is properly connected, and check for any signs of damage. If you find any damage or if the switch is not properly connected, replace the switch.

- Backup Light Bulbs: Check the backup light bulbs. If the bulbs are burned out, replace them with new bulbs of the same wattage.

- Wiring: Check the wiring for the backup lights. If there is any damage to the wiring, repair it.
