Reversing Lights

Post by MatBat » Fri Nov 21, 2003 12:46 pm

My reversing lights have stopped working but the bulbs and fuse look fine.
I am thinking that it could be a sensor when you put the car into reverse.
Does anyone know where this is?

Check
1e- if the wires are on the switch in the gearbox.
2e- if the current is getting at and through the fusebox
3e- if the current is getting to the buldholder
4e- if there is any corosion in the bulbholder

Good lUck

Fixed it!
It was the connections to the sensor, on the side of the gearbox.
One had fallen off. :D
