Reversing lights ?

[Martyn Cannon]

So just found out that my reversing lights are not working
This was discovered today when stereo engineer was connection reversing camera
There seems to be no power to the reverse light
Any ideas how to correct this
Slightly amazed this was not picked up on its MoT only a month ago

Reverse lights obviously aren't part of the MOT
Theyre usually switched via the auto selector but it could be anything from a blown fuse to damaged wiring.

I believe reversing lights are now part of the mot, at least on newer cars.

Located the fuse on the right of the steering column 15amp seems ok
Any other ideas where to look
Lost my voltage meter will pick up a new one tomorrow

Do you have the tiptronic gearbox or the PRND432 gearbox?

Hi it’s a 1998 so the PRND432 gearbox

Funny enough just driven Home from work dropped of the golf club captain and was reversing I could see reflection in shop window when I selected reverse the right side light blinked on then off again I did this 4 times and same result so there is power to the light just won’t stay on
Any more ideas

Try checking this thread. It's for a w210 but they're largely the same.
