no reverse light - pistolpete - 15-05-2012
had a good search and cant find anything about this but i have no reverse light, the reverse light switch on the gearbox works as i tested it with multimeter but its not getting any power to the terminals at the back of the car. anyone got any ideas what/where the problem might be, thanks. and just to add.... all the fuses are fine

hows the condition of the rear board where the bulbs plug into mine was rusted in and hence y wouldnt work. you dont need one for legality but helps stop people driving into you when reversing

i checked with the multimeter ant its not getting any power to the rear of the car at all not even at the plug

Brakelights ok? Mine keeps popping fuse 5 which is for reverse lights and brake light switch. Its a 25a fuse 5 from the left on the bottom row under the dash

yeah all fuses are fine I've checked and double checked. brake lights work, becoming a bit of a mystery!
