Help! reverse light fault

matandy22 · 07-09-2009, 05:29 PM

Hi, my reverse light has stopped working. I only have one as the right hand side has been converted to a fog light. I have checked the bulb (obviosly!) and all the 7.5A fuses and they all seem ok!!

Any ideas where to try next would be appriciated!

and does any one have the fuse layout in english!!??

Thanks

also check the reverse light wire on the side that has been converted to a fog is insulated properly and hasn't shorted out on the body causing the problem.

Well in the process of checking all the 7.5/10A fuses I think I have caused a fault on the SRS, as the warning light will not go out.

Anyone know how to reset it on a 97 model?

thanks
