Hello, I am hoping someone can offer me some advice before I throw the teddies out of the pram
My reversing lights did not work so after some voltmetering I identified the reversing light switch (RVL) as the problem. I bought a new one after quoting my registration and screwed it in.
Now my reversing lights are on in Reverse, 3rd 4th and occasionally in neutral. (They are not on in 1st or 2nd)
They turn on if I short the loom prior to the RVL and off again. I have electrically protected the two wires from accidently shorting (in the area that I have been fiddling).
Have I been sold the wrong switch? are their different variants with subtle differences such as; lengths of the plunger, push to close the circuit/ push to open? Would dislodging the 1st gear switch effect the operation of the RVL?
Is there something that I have missed?
Many thanks in advance for any help
