Title: No reverse lights
Post by: donut82 on 13 November 2007, 22:12:02

Well my new Omega is my pride and joy, it only has one minor fault. I'll be buggered if I can get reverse lights to work.

Didn't notice til I went to my mum and dads and couldn't see where I was going to reverse back up their drive. I've tried the blatantly obvious and changed both bulbs and checked the fuse and everythings tickety boo!

Had a word with my mate and he mentioned something about a switch on the gear linkage when you put it into reverse. Any ideas cause I'm abit stumped!?

Also, is it an MoT failure having no reverse lights?

Hello mate just a thought, It could be your reverse switch they can fail  :y

Most likely to be the electrical switch on the gearbox playing up, or the connector on it. Also check your fuses first. :y

Top tip in the meantime... use your hazards, or even your rear fogs, to illuminate behind you. HTH.

ETA: When reversing, obviously...

I haven't done anything with mine yet, mine work intermittently so at least they work sort of.
