keithjh Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi All, Wife just rang me to tell me she has been pulled by local plod, who informed her that her reversing light was stuck on. Apparently its on even when the ign switched off. Helpful plod removed bulb and sent her on her way. Vehicle is a 300tdi auto (1996) Any ideas where to start? am i right in thinking that the reverse light switch is also combined with the inhibitor switch on the auto box? regards Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yes it is a combined unit you get to it from underneath the vehicle according to my Haynes/ LR workshop manual. Reverse light switch is an integral part of start inhibitor switch. It is located on left hand side of gearbox, accessible from beneath vehicle. 1. Place vehicle on suitable ramp [hoist]. 2. Disconnect battery negative lead. 3. Disconnect multi-plug. 4. Release clamp bolt, remove clamp. 5. Remove switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doda456 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Also its not a MOT testable item, its just a nice to have item, I also removed the bulb as my sensor is broke/fullof mud and have passed several mots since. But without it , reverse parking can be a bit tricky . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
