Reversing light switch

Post by **aaronflint1592** » 03 Jul 2013, 05:22

I've found that my reversing light switch is faulty. I bought a new one from brickworks and fitted it but now the reversing lights are on permanently. Any one got any ideas why?

Regards
Aaron

Yes, add a washer to it, but once off the vehicle, stick a meter across the terminals and make sure that operating the plunger does actually turn the switch on and off..

Washer added. I now have reversing lights. It does beg the question - why is a washer not provided with the part.

Thanks for your help covkid.

Varying thickness of washer may be required for correct operation.

Plus the fact, the quality of reversing light switches is not what it was. Everything is chinese these days.
