It could be the reverse light switch, is it a manual? if it is the switch is located on the drivers side of the gear box. If you short the two wires out and the lights come on then your switch is most likely ****ed they are about 65 bucks from holden. Not to sure about auto could be the same but ive got no idea.

ok i finally got around to installing the reverse light switch. but they still dont work.
ive checked the
fuses under the dash and under the bonnet none are blown
the bulbs dont seem to be blown
replaced the reverse light switch on the gear box

what else could it be? can any one give me advice please?

are you sure the globes are fine?

i'd be getting a voltmeter or test light and doing some checking. need to see if power if getting a. to the fuse, b. to the switch, and c. to the globes.

[MR_VX]

ive checked and theres no power to the globes and ever fuse i could see was fine, the globes looked unbroken but ill try replacing them and test for power at the plug for the reverse switch on the gearbox i replaced

[MR_VX]

any one have any ideas?

where is the fuse for the reverse lights.in the wireing diagram it is fuse f13 but i can not find it

Like the bloke said above use a voltmeter or a test light and find the power source which runs to the reverse lights. Once you find out where the power cuts off/stops going to the lamps, do some fault finding until you find the problem and repair it.
