Title: Reverse light staying on
Post by: callumccooper on October 27, 2014, 10:24:04 pm

Hi, my reverse light is staying on when I take it out of reverse, it's not happening all of the time but god it's annoying! I've only just noticed it so I've not actually tried to figure out what it could be yet just seeing if anybody has an idea or anybody has had this problem before cheers

How easy is that to fix/replace?

The switch itself is really easy to replace, unplug the switch 22mm spanner and then remove and place the washer on the new sensor.

The time consuming part is removing the undertray.

Depends what model your car is, there's a black connector and a brown connector.
