Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've replaced both bulbs, and checked the fuse under-dash... ev'ry thing looks cool. I haven't checked the connection at the Tranny yet, but other then that - any ideas? They both quit working about 9 months ago (i know... haven't cared to fix it till now) - i just noticed it one day back when...

Most likely it is the connection in the tranny.
I had the same problem with my '01 and it was repaired under warranty.The part the dealer replaced was called the reverse switch( I have the T-45 transmission), That was like 2 years ago. Now it's out again, but, I'm too lazy and cheap to get it fixed this time.

great... sounds like that must be my issue. Wiring should still be intact, no Major accidents - so I'll try and unplug it and plug it back in, just to check if the connection is bad. Was it hard to replace that part? Thanks for the reply!

I really don't know because the dealer did it. -I didn't do it myself.
It doesn't sound too difficult though.

Got the same problem in my 99 GT. Im not sure but the first time I noticed it was right after the power driver seat quit working. Dont know if the two could be related but found both problems within days of each other.

Fuses are all good, I thought maybe a relay or something ?? Im not to concerned about the seat because its right were I need it and no one else will ever drive my car. However I did price a seat motor....damn. Even with my buddies discount it was like $180 !! I guess its a whole new track.

don't know if it's connected with the seat track, 'cause I do know I can unbolt the tracks from my '99 and install my '66 tracks on it to put in my car... would be great to have leather seats in the '66...
