Default New guy on site

Hello all I'm James Thrash from Arlington Texas.

I am in dire need of someone that i can pay for a hand. I have searched online and just joined this group from word of mouth on the street from a couple saying this site was the bomb "meaning it is full of cool people full of knowledge". I have a 99 Camaro z28 and out of the blue the reverse lights stopped working. I have looked on line and since i am disabled my wife will not allow me the time to figure this thing out online and go out to work on it. I had an aortic anyerusm as a world wide military contractor and now i am just over 106 lbs soaking wet after surgery and can not take the heat. I will PAY, I live just off I-20 and Green oaks in arlington. SOMEONE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I WILL PAY I NEED EDUCATION i can not stand to feel this ignorant over something that should be so simple. Shoot me a message and ill give number and address ill even pay for gas to get here as well i just need it fixed my pride is hurt bad.

sorry to hear about your issues but you're posting in the wrong section. either way, it sounds like it might be the reverse switch, you would have to ask in the section respective to what car you own and those guys would be able to help you out. i'll try forwarding this to a moderator to move over

Yea if it's not a bulb or a fuse, it's the reverse switch on the transmission.

Reverse switch or a ground. Any other problems happening with it that seem unrelated?
