My rx7 reverse lights don't work, I bought new bulbs and changed all my fuses to. Any ideas? I herd maybe the clip wasn't on for the reverse but all my clips are on. I found a black with a yellow stripe clip not attached but I don't know where it goes, could that be the reverse clip?

 

The reverse switch is on the transmission, driver side about 6" before the shifter box (depends a bit on model). Check it with a meter.

 

Thanks , so okay I never had a parking cable when I bought the fc and now I bought one and do not know how to install it bc I never took it apart , can you guys show me a clip or something to help put on my rear parking cable

 

would failure of the reverse switch cause my back up lights to remain on all the time?

 

The Factory Service Manuals for all years of RX-7 (and many other rotary cars) can be downloaded for free here: http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page=rx7manual . They contain all common service information information and more, and are an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.

Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.

These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download. The Haynes is a good quick reference covering 99% of questions, while the FSMs show complete and detailed procedures.
