Default PNP switch

Hi I have a 98 S70 with no reverse lights. My bulbs are good and the wipers are working. So
the fuse is ok. Did anyone ever use the Scan Tech after market part ? It's 1/2 the price of the OEM part. I did the moving the shifter up and down to clean the switch but no luck.

Thanks

I heard the Scan Tech was just fine. I need to replace my PNP Switch as well, do you know how? I know where it is, I just don't know the process. Do you know of any tutorials or anything?

You need to test the power going to the brake switch, etc. I wouldn't count on the PNP switch being bad.

I hate to ask this but.....

Did you check the bulbs?

Usually cars have a reverse switch. They are usually pretty cheap. I'd go that route long before I would dig into a PNO. There are threads on that and it looks ugly.

Here is a link.
Volvo Back Up light Switch (Standard Transmission) FAE 9442728 | FCP Euro

Maybe someone knows its exact location...
