Where is the reverse light switch located on the Baojun 560?

[Asher]

The reverse light switch is located on the transmission. When driving on the road, it's important to pay attention to the use of low beam and high beam headlights. Low beam headlights: Low beam headlights should be turned on when driving at night on roads with streetlights, when encountering pedestrians on the roadside at night, and when navigating narrow roads, narrow bridges, or curves. At night, when approaching an intersection, you should toggle between low and high beams twice. However, constantly rotating the switch back and forth can be inconvenient. Fortunately, there's a shortcut with this combination switch: when in low beam mode, lifting the combination light switch upwards will activate the high beams, and releasing it will return to low beams. High beam headlights: High beam headlights should be turned on at night when there are no streetlights on the roadside or when the road is straight and visibility is poor in the distance. Rotating the switch one notch forward will activate the high beams. When encountering oncoming traffic at night, if you have the high beams on, you must turn them off until the oncoming vehicle has passed, then you can turn the high beams back on. If you don't turn them off, the glare from the high beams can impair the vision of the other driver and potentially cause an accident.

I've worked on quite a few Baojun 560 vehicles, so I'm very familiar with the reverse light switch location. This switch is mounted on the transmission. You'll need to look towards the inner side of the right front wheel from underneath the car. The vehicle must be lifted to get a clear view - it's a silver metal box with an electrical connector, bolted to the side of the transmission housing. When you shift into reverse, the gear lever pushes the switch contacts to complete the circuit. For replacement, you'll need to remove the air filter box first. Remember to disconnect the battery negative terminal before unplugging the connector. Clean any oil residue around the area during installation to prevent poor contact. After installation, always test whether the reverse lights and backup camera are triggered properly.

As a long-time owner, let me remind you that the reverse light switch of the Baojun 560 is located on the side of the mid-section of the transmission. During my last maintenance, I specifically observed that it's threaded into the housing with a rubber dust-proof sleeve on the connector. Interestingly, this switch is solely triggered by the mechanical action of engaging reverse gear and has no connection to the cabin switch. When replacing it, you'll need a 19mm open-end wrench, and you'll hear a 'click' sound when loosening it. I recommend checking for oxidation on the wiring connector while you're at it—last time, my reverse camera flickering was caused by loose connector pins.

The reverse light switch is located on the transmission housing, approximately the size of a fist. Its exact position is at the lower right side of the engine compartment, near the drive half-shaft. For daily vehicle use, pay attention to three points: check the switch's sealing after wading through water; if the reversing camera malfunctions, inspect this area first; when replacing the switch, add a sealing gasket. From my experience, when the switch is damaged, the reverse radar often fails as well. It's recommended to use a diagnostic tool to read the fault codes for confirmation. The labor cost for removal and installation at a repair shop is about 80 yuan, and purchasing the part yourself costs around 35 yuan.

When researching the modification of reverse lights, it was found that the switch is located on the right side of the transmission. When shifting into reverse gear, the shift fork presses against the switch plunger, sending a signal to the ECU. To enhance reverse light brightness, it is not recommended to directly modify the switch wiring as it may blow a fuse. A safer approach is to install a relay, using the switch signal to control additional lighting. Before starting, remember to purchase waterproof connectors, as regular tape can easily come off in the high-temperature environment of the transmission. Added wiring should avoid the exhaust pipe and be protected with corrugated tubing.

The reverse light failure in rainy days is mostly caused by water ingress in the switch. It's installed at the middle-lower part of the transmission, where it's most prone to water splashing. For self-inspection, don't rush to dismantle it: first engage reverse gear and have someone observe the rear lights. If they don't light up, try tapping the switch housing. For a temporary fix, you can remove the switch, dry the internal copper pieces, and reuse it. For long-term protection, applying a layer of silicone grease is recommended for waterproofing. Note that this location is near the exhaust pipe, so when replacing the switch, a high-temperature resistant sealing ring must be used. Money-saving tip: Wrapping Teflon tape can last half a year when there's slight oil seepage.
