Yes, I have 12V coming FROM the switch when reverse is engaged.
But somewhere between that return wire from the switch to the one pictured above there's a break. Also, the ignition and fuse box somehow comes into play, which I'm having trouble understanding.
Everything checks out fine (bulb holder to engine compartment) except the wiring going from the engine compartment through into the dash, then to wherever (I'm guessing the ignition switch, then to the fuse box, right?)
I have part of the dash off at the moment, but I just can't make sense of the tangled mess of wires that are hard to see.
Any ideas?
Been trying to figure out why my Defender 110, 1992 reverse light isn't working.
I've managed to ascertain the following:
- Bulb and holder works
- Reverse light earth is fine
- Wire from reverse light to engine compartment shows no resistance, so no breaks in the wire.
- Reverse switch on top of gearbox replaced and tested.
- With reverse gear engaged and ignition on, I'm only getting a reading of 0.3V (taken from engine compartment)
I'm thinking that for whatever reason the 0.3V reading is too low, so the wiring going from the engine compartment back to the fuse box needs checking?
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks
