Questions about my 91 MR2

Ku-sama · 04-02-2008, 10:34 PM

Edit: I DO!!!!!! have power steering. I found an empty bottle of PS fluid in my behind the seat storage container. where would the pump/reservoir be located at? And one more thing.... Where in the hell is my switch to activate my reverse lights? they don't come on and I think it's the switch since the rest of the lights work on it.

Power steering cap is in the front hood and as far as i know reverse lights dont have a swicth you probly need to change the bulbs or check if you have a blown fuse.

Ku-sama · 04-02-2008, 11:42 PM

I changed the bulbs today and nothing, but I'll check the fuse.

Ku-sama · 04-02-2008, 11:58 PM

where is the fuse for the reverse light?

Redfox · 04-03-2008, 12:03 AM

95% sure there on the drivers side right above the puller to open the front hood.You should see a small fuse box

Ku-sama · 04-03-2008, 05:12 PM

Didn't see any blown fuses in there nor do I have any documentation to tell me what fuses do what for that spot.

Also. I DO have Power steering, but I think it's fubared... and I saw a relay under the hood for ABS, does this automatically mean I have it?

Bump? need to get her to pass inspection ASAP.

For the power steering - make sure you only use fluid designed for the electric pump systems. Probably have to get the fluid from the dealer. If someone ran regular PS fluid in there, you'll have to flush all that out.

The reverse switch is in the transmission. Maybe the connector just came unplugged?

where at on the tranny? do you know?

kentsvision · 04-07-2008, 10:39 AM

I believe that is on the engine? Under your engine that is. I have the same problem with my reverse lights. I will check mine soon too. Also my steering, I'm getting a new steering rack.

its right on top of the transmission rearward of the shifter levers, 2 wire grey connector.

Ku-sama · 04-07-2008, 11:55 PM

okay so that wasn't the issue, apparently the switch wasn't getting any power, so we have to instead of going through the harness, jimmy rig a new speaker wire into the switch to the rear light harness....

CyFi · 04-08-2008, 12:00 AM

you really should check further into why its not working right instead of ghetto wiring it.

the wire has a break or short in it somewhere, and I don't have the time or tools right now to tear apart my harness to find it. this is a temp fix.

kentsvision · 04-17-2008, 08:45 PM

can anyone show me a pic of where the reverse switch is. I can't seem to find it. I have the same prob with my reverse lights.

supra94t · 04-17-2008, 10:30 PM

same problem

kentsvision · 04-18-2008, 01:44 PM

SOMEONE has to know please help.

Ku-sama · 04-18-2008, 02:07 PM

I know how to fix the problem.... I'm just going to run a new power line from the fuse box to the switch.
