Ford Ka

Anyone point me in the direction of the reverse light switch on a 05 Ka please. I don't fancy mauling around on the floor looking for it  ::)  ::)

I was a bit vague, dependant on the car, it should be either on the side, or on the top  :y. It's got two wires going to it I believe, been a long time since I last checked one.

It's my niece's car. She said she'd no reverse light, so put a known OK lamp in & it's still not working, so thought of reverse light switch. A quick Google suggests I'm right, but I wasn't prepared to start dismantling stuff to find it, so was after an idea of where it is. She's going back home on Sunday - I'm working tomorrow & Sunday so it'll be her Dad's problem!  ::)  ::) ;D ;D

A tad unfair as the Ka only has one known rust point.......it's located between the front & rear bumper.
