G'day, i've got a problem with my reverse lights on my vr. they don't work haha, i've changed the bulbs and checked the reverse lamp fuse and still no luck, can anybody help with this at all. cheers.
try your reverse sender on your gearbox, are you getting power or a signal at the lamp holder?? may have a rubbed wire
Agree with reverse sender micro-switch. If the bulbs are OK, then the problem usually relates to the reverse micro-switch at the gearbox. This is not common, but they do go sometimes.
My vs auto does that sometimes i just move my selector abit and it seems to slot into place and the lights come on wear and tear I think.
This is how power gets to the reverse lights. You just have to check each out until you find the problem. Power from battery to fuse number 12 From fuse 12 to reverse lamp switch in the gear selector console From the reverse lamp switch to each reverse bulb From the bulb to a ground that just about all your rear lights use So if your other lights are working, it shouldnt be the ground side. Just make sure you did check the right fuse, and I mentioned above, otherwise I would very carefully checking that switch. Either not sitting right or not working (you can test if its working using a multimeter). And just to double check, have the bulbs ever worked? Just to make sure you havent purchased the wrong type. Otherwise its probably a wiring fault, and you will need to use a multimeter to find where power is getting to and where its not.
cheers for all the help guys, i'm not sure where to find the reverse lamp switch if anyone could tell me, my car is a manual if that makes a difference to its location. oh and yes all other lights are working and the new bulbs are the same as the ones i replaced.
