I have a faulty reversing light. The bulb is good and the rear wiper starts when reverse is selected after the front wipers have been used, so I think that means the switch is good also. I want to check the fuse and although I thought that would be simple I cannot find out which fuse to check - there is no mention of it in the manual nor on any of the lists I have seen on the internet. Can anyone help please?
 
This pic may help but it seems the light is directly wired have you tested the old and new bulb and it's not a led type is it?
Fuse is under bonnet no. 87

Thank you all. I will check it out this afternoon. I have had the bulb lit with 12v but when I tested the connector with a meter with ignition on and reverse selected and there was nothing there. It could be the wiring to the connector has become faulty where it enters it but I really hope not. Thanks so far though.

You could follow the wire into the car and prog the end of the test lead through the insulation to see if there's a break near the end? Grey with green stripe I think
