.....don't know about you .... but I've never seen the reverse lamps operate on my car when I'm driving it!
Reverse lights would have activated getting the vehicle off the ramp , or are you still at the test station waiting for your car .....
....I know .... which is why I specifically said 13 pin socket .... not just trailer socket.
13 pin sockets are testable when fitted ,7 pin are not (there is no standard wiring configuration for 7 pin) ....
