Reverse lights

Post by F41XTH »

I have no reverse lights at all. The bulbs work as I have checked them

A multimeter read on the reverse wire comes in at 3v, could anyone please advice on next step(s) to diagnose further

8.5v whether it's in first or reverse.

Although now I've plugged it back in again they work! Maybe it was dirty or not pushed all the way on... Who knows!
