reverse light switch

Post by jake1953 »

Hi Peeps. my reverse lights stopped working on my 1987 1.9 dg with 5 speed box panelvan and don't know where the switch at the g/box end is. Checked on wiki for "where to find it" but only found that it is on the nearside. It's too wet to lie down for a hunt so can anyone help out on the location?

Time to get down and dirty cos it's on the nearside of the gearbox and had a pair of wires going to it. Cleaning the spade connectors may help.
