Reversing ight switch

Post by Philip Chidlow »

My 16v's reversing lights don't come on. I doubt both bulbs have gone at the same toime (although I will check). I imagine it's possibly a switch issue. How do I get to the connectors on the switch to give a clean and a 'wiggle'?
Or am I missing something obvious?

While you have the plug in your hand check that you have a live feed to one of the terminal's( ignition on)
and if you have a paper clip handy bridge the two terminals and check that you have reverse lights working this will check everything else so it has got to be the switch.( don't short it out on the gearbox or you will need a new fuse)
