    99accord i can not find reverse light switch and car randomly dies while i am driving
    just bought a 1999 honda accord and I cannot find the reverse light switch as my reverse light's don't work I changed fuse and bulbs still nothing, as well my car just randomly shuts down while I am driving and almost struggles to start back up after because the ignition will catch then will just die unless I keep it gased for a couple of seconds, and I called honda and they said there is no recall on my vehicle. Any suggestions?

    Nobody does. Check the ignition switch for wear or pitting:

    Then, decide the direction you want to go, if the problem persists.
