Where is the back up light switch on the 2004 dodge ram 1500?

My dad needs help with this...and I'm trying to help him, but I'm having a tough time. I do not know anything about cars, trucks, etc...but my dad does, so can you please answer the question like you are talking to my father, he'll will look at this. Well what he needs to know is where or how to change the back up light switch on his 2004 dodge ram 1500 truck? He think he knows where it is but he wants to double check, make sure, and if anybody has or can find pictures of it to show where it is, it would be a big help. You don't need to provide the pictures, but it would be handy, as long you can explain it well, it would be enough... Thank-you to anyone who answers... :-)Where is the back up light switch on the 2004 dodge ram 1500?The transmission range sensor, which controls the backup lamps, is located in the solenoid pack assembly. I am assuming that the vehicle is equipped with a 45RFE transmission. To replace the solenoid pack you must remove the transmission pan and valve body. The solenoid pack is bolted to the top of the valve body. If you have an issue with no reverse lights, I would look elsewhere as I have never seen and issue with the solenoid pack causing a problem with no backup lights.



If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, the backup lamp switch is located on the passenger side of the transmission case is is screwed directly into the case. It should be a two wire connector. If you jump the two terminals in the connector the backup lamps should come on if the switch is your problem.



I hope this information helps, dont forget to check the fuse.Where is the back up light switch on the 2004 dodge ram 1500?first answer is great with one exception. the trs is in the solenoid pack, but the code plate it rides on stays on the valve body. early in the 45rfe's life there were problems with backup lamps not working, but that was 10 years ago now. you may need a scanner for this one.Where is the back up light switch on the 2004 dodge ram 1500?Used to be, it was part of the 3 prong neutral starter switch mounted of the outside of the trans. Check with your local dealer to see if this is still yrue.
