No reversing lights?
flickered and then offaltogether and no dont work at all
allother lights work ok
checked bulbs etc ok
any clues?
i think it maybe the switch , have waggled the matchbox sized connector attached to the gearbox and cleaned connectors etc to no avail
are there any other places I should look? could the switch fail? how does it work?
cheers

Now I've cleaned the contacts my reverse lights work but only if I wiggle the gear lever when in reverse gear! I took the gearbox mounted switch off and tested it but found this to be ok. I think when I get round to replacing my very worn gear linkage bushes the lights will some on when they should.
Cheers,
