Please can someone put me out of my misery.
I cannot find the reverse light switch on this gearbox.
Any guidance would be greatly received.

The plug is grey with 2 wires.

Re: Ducato 2.8jtd. Reverse light switch

Thanks for the info.
I can confirm the switch was grey in colour.
Not only was it behind a large diameter air pipe but it was also very well hidden behind the clutch operating mechanism (Black plastic leading to a brassy coloured rod that operated the clutch lever on top of gearbox)
I found it was easier to remove the two stiffnuts that held the clutch operating linkeage to a large silver coloured fitting and then move the linkeage aside so i had full view of the switch.
To remove the plug i did need to pull the tag on the one side of the plug and then pull plug upwards. However due to fat fingers and very little access i did wedge a small watchmakers screwdriver under the tag and then prise plug off by levering gently on the plug body.
The switch then came out with a 22mm long reach socket.
Happy days.
I hope this thread is of help to anyone who may have to carry out the same job.
Thanks again to Forum moderator
