Backup Lights NEVER off

Sorry,
Since this was related to just the tow lighting circuit (and I don't tow), this became a little lower in the priority list.
Yesterday, I was able to get back to it.
I've been in the dash many times for various things (GPS,OBD2,Stereo, dashcam, etc) so I was pretty familiar. I'm also thinking I absolutely must have 'bumped' something that caused this trouble originally!

Short Story: Locating C211 & C213 was not easy at all. Labeling was hard to determine. However, it appears that the reverse lights go out if I disconnect EITHER C211 or C213. I say 'appears', because I have to say that I can't be 100% certain that I identified C213. I'm going by the location and pin count/connector shape. There simply is no label at all anywhere on that connector or cable leading to it! Frustrating, I know...such is Thor...

I moved on to troubleshooting a Xantrex inverter problem (it'll be a different post)

I promise I'll be getting back to the reverse lights troubleshooting later in the week.

THANK YOU so much for your help! without you guys, I'd have driven my Outlaw to a Camping World for them to look at (Scary!!)- or just disconnected the reverse lights and never backed up again LOL..

Pulling C213 I would expect the lights to go off because pin 1 is on the tow side, but pin 9 is the reverse lamp feed. Now C211 is interesting? Pin 7 should be a black wire with a light green stripe that comes from the Trailer Reversing Lamps switch that comes is supplied by THOR. Will have to look to see if you can find where that's located on your coach. If you haven't already done it you may want to call Thor customer service and get the wiring diagrams for your coach and also ask them where this switch is.


edit: I just did some searching around and found some information about adding a switch on this etrailer site link

So I have to ask if there is a switch someplace on your dash that you don't know what it does? Maybe you can follow that wire from C211?
