1969 Westy - Engine Dies In Reverse
So that's my problem. When I put my bus into reverse, she dies. She drives fine in all forward gears. I have never had a problem with going into reverse (although she does pop out from time to time) but as I am shifting, right as she hits the spot, she just stops.
Any hints?

The reverse lights were left unhooked by a lazy mechanic :( and she wouldn't start. I saw the wire and a place on the coil... just by coincidence, she started next try (I think the cold, wet Oregon coast the night before just got to her). Before work this morning, I unhooked it again and problem solved! Tthanks guys :) (still no lights though)

We need, as we need with all posts to the technical forums, year and model info. The FI buses have double relay power supply alongside the reverse light inline fuse. There are known instances of reverse light grounding killing the FI voltage supply.
