General Reverse light works intermittently

[damaguz]

Please need urgent help.
Reverse light does not work at all and sometimes it comes on. I noticed this when I have no signal from my reverse cam.
Now I know it's the switch but I don't know where it is.
I have read a thread on here and I have followed through but still cannot find the switch.
Please help!

It's a fiat ducato maxi 2004 2.8 Jtd

Thanks

The reversing light switch is on top of the gearbox
You have to remove both the air cleaner element, and the air cleaner box, to clearly see the reversing light switch

On a motorhome they take both the positive and negative wires to the rear lights, as the lights are not connected to the steel part of the chassis

Perhaps if you crawled underneath, you may find the two extra wires coming from one of your reversing lights

The earth wire, may have come adrift, which will stop both the reversing lights, and the reversing camera

Hopes this helps you out

If it's intermittent first thing to try is remove the washer and refit this moves the switch further into the box common problem on pug and cities with similar box

What washer??

What washer??

Hello damaguz

I think that corcai is talking about the washer that is under the reversing light switch, which is on top of the gearbox

Ok thanks. I will be looking at it today and will take pictures. Is there a way to attach images to post? Thanks

Sorry, I am newer than you mate

At a guess, I would say that on the top of the reply window, there is an icon of a white face smiley.
If you click the icon to the right of the white face smiley, which says Attachments when you hover your mouse over it.
You should be able to put up pictures by following the instructions

Hope this helps you out

If I am wrong, then I hope someone comes along to correct me
