Hi Forum.

Recently started having problems with the reverse light not working. It’s not the bulb as I tried the reverse light on the fog lamp side and all works as it should. Measured voltage on reverse side and get reading of zero. Could this possibly be the reverse switch needing replaced?

It is a 2013 2.2 Puma 90.

Thanks for reading.

Fuse F10. In the fuse box under the driver's seat, not the one in the secondary box under the dash. If you need to change the switch it is accessible after taking the floor panel out which sits over the gearbox. Haynes manual says remove the handbrake lever to get the floor out, but I found it possible to wiggle the panel out without removing the handbrake. Gear lever is a quick release item, takes about 2 seconds to remove it.

I checked underneath the seat but there was no diagrams to tell me what one was F10. Did have a look at a diagram on google but it was pointing to one of the black relays. Can you show me exactly what fuse it is? My next port of call will be the switch. Thanks!
 
There should be a diagram on the underside of the metal cover under the driver's seat.

Perfect, thanks for sharing this!

I couldn’t see a diagram on the bottom of the metal cover.

I will investigate this and see what comes of it.
 
Hi again. I have also replaced the 4 bulbs in the centre console around the temperature control and sliders underneath the stereo but these are still not lighting up. The bulbs that were there were all burnt out and the glass was black. These are still not lighting up. Do you know if these are fed from a separate fuse? All other internal lights work and have checked the white plug that these plug in to. All seems fine with no breaks in the wiring. Thanks.
 
I think it's a 10 amp fuse in position F20 in the fuse box under the dash. It definitely is on my 2.4 TDCI, I don't know if the fuse layouts differ though.
