What It Helps Fix

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when shifting into reverse
• Intermittent back up lamp operation caused by switch wear
• Electrical contact issues at the reverse light circuit
• Hard-to-diagnose reverse signal faults on GM and Saab platforms
• Switch failure related to heat, vibration, or internal contact wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and mounting style before installation. LS-224 uses a screw-in design with one female oval connector and two male blade terminals, so matching the original switch configuration is important for proper fitment. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model before service, especially on Chevrolet Aveo, Pontiac G5, and Saab 9-3 platforms.
