Reversing Lights not working

AlexPayler · 13th February 2008, 09:35

Hey Guys,

Yeah basically my reverse lights (both of them) don't appear to be working. Checked the bulbs and both appear ok, then checked and changed the fuse but still not working. Car goes into reverse no probs (Manual gearbox), etc but just the lights arn't coming on. Any ideas!!??

Sounds like the switch possibly. Someone should be able to direct you to the switch hopefully. Unless there are any other thoughts on the problem.

I had the same problem of no reverse lights , so swapped the switch ( about £7 if i remember) Easy 15 min job which involved removing the ns front wheel and it was fixed.
