Title: Reversing Light Switch
Post by: mjamoose on 16 May 2005, 11:10

Hi there one and all!
I've recently discovered that my reversing lights do not work!
Have checked all the wiring, fuses and bulbs all are ok, even shorted the reversing light switch connector and they worked.
I was wondering, how easy is it to replace the switch, does anything need to be done inside the gearbox. what tools will be needed and how much is it likley to cost me?
Any help appreciated greatly!

its on top of the gearbox, with two rubber booted wires coming out the top. not sure on all gearboxes but on an 020 box its right by the speedo cable drive.
