Awesome thanks for posting, I assume they just ran wires to the reverse lights and a 12V source?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I own a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (year 2002), automatic transmission (Tiptronic). Where is located the back-up light switch on this car? Do you have a drawing showing this component at this location? Thank you, regards. Andre

POST 2Original post

I just realized you have a tip, I'm not sure if it's the same part but, on a manual it's on the transmission, it's a small switch that has the pin worn out, real easy fix if you can get under the car safely and fix yourself. And that's a $13.00 fix if you do it and I would bet $100 at the dealer. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...er=99660610301 Hope this helps.

POST 4Original post

And that's a $13.00 fix if you do it and I would bet $100 at the dealer. My shift cable broke and while it was at the dealer they noticed that the switch wasn�t working. They wanted to charge me another hour (at $102.50 per hour) on top of the 4 hours they charged me for the cables but decided just to charge me for the switch after I pointed out that it should only take a few minutes for an experienced mechanic to replace it.

POST 5Original post

This is not for the TIP optioned cars. I own a 2001 996TT and the reverse switch is not located at the transmission.
