no reverse light , wheres the switch on a auto box , HELP
Hi , as a owner & forum member i posted this on the disco3 forum last night but thought i'd get more replys on here so here we go again ,
we have just bought a 95 (m reg) defender 90 which has benn converted to an auto box (range rover box i believe) anyway ..no reverse light so i need to know where the switch is located on these boxes so i can see if thats the culprit , its been used off road and is caked in mud so i think the switch is the first thing to check unless you guys have any better ideas as to why its not working ?
cheers

Im guessing you have checked the fuse first and then the bulb?

Hi Pete , the bulb is fine & the fuses are nothing like the diagram on the back of the fuse cover ,all seem higher that what they should be & how do you get em out of that black holder once you pull em from the fuse box ? . the bulb does seem to sit quite loose in the the holder so it may be that , you wouldnt believe the mud that was behind the light unit when i undid the 2 screws & removed it . From what i can gather its a bit of a pain to start stripping out the cab to get to the switch so im really hoping its just a bad earth or somthing at the back , im rubbish at sparks so i phoned a local auto electrician whos quite good but he dont know when he could call to take a look as he's got a lot on this week & i really need this thing on the road for work , also the wipers stopped working so im waiting on a new wiper stalk(im guessing its that thats gone Rolling Eyes ) from ebay to arrive ,
cheers
Paul

It'll be a ZF 4 speed box, should be more info about the reverse light location on the web if you'd got that info Smile  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top
