    The reverse switch on the "t" bar. Start with that.

    Check the wiring that goes to the gearbox.It might just be unplugged or it might be broken.And check the reverse light bulbs.If you find nothing,then test the reverse light switch with a multimeter.

    unplug the switch and earth the connection with a safety pin or something, if the lights work the switch is buggered.
