Reverse lights not working

[Monro74]

I know why the left one does't work after reading other posts but the right one not sure. The right one came on when I touched the mounting screw for the tail light, took the car out of reverse and back in to reverse and nothing, hasn't worked since. Earth seems fine and all other lights work but test light shows no power to the reverse light. I have no idea where to look without pulling half the car apart. Any help would be appreciated, need to fix to get registered.

Reverse switch on the T-bar shifter?? Do Vt's have them???

It's manual, but I'm thinking it probably is the switch

Can anyone tell me what the switch looks like, I got under the car and had a quick look, all I could see was some wires, I need to get the car up higher to get right under I think. Unless there is an easier way?

Still not sure what i'm looking for?

Its at the rear end of the box on the side i think. Just follow the loom down from the engine. The sensor at the back on the output shaft Is the speed sensor so its the other loom plug. Google images isnt helping nd its too late at night for me to look at mine. If you cant get a multimetre on either side, test the switch with the ohms setting.

I hope this helps.Number 2 is the switch.

Mine is manual, as far as I can tell it is the plug above where the hydrolics for the clutch go in, just can't get a spanner in to undo it

Hey, success, managed to get the switch out, worked out of the car so put the car into reverse and screwed it back in, now they work again, had to run a separate wire to the left one. All good, thanks guys.
