Bongo Fury

Greetings everyone, this is my first post..here goes.

I have just been informed that my reverse lights don't work, I've had a look and it's true. Trouble is I never saw them when they did work, my point being I don't know if there are two lights or one, if there's one then chances are it's the bulb, if two then could it be a fuse?
Can anyone suggest an appropriate course of action. All the other back lights work fine.
She's a 96 Freda by the way. Any advice most welcome.

try one of the other bulbs from the cluster thats working quik check that works.

They are supposed to go on when you choose reverse gear. There must be a switch on the gear leaver, could this be faulty.

Tony

is it a manual or auto could have a bearing on the fault?

If you check the bulbs and the fuse and they are ok it maybe that the reversing light switch may have failed - it should be somewhere on the gearbox casing or it could be a bad earth. Hope this may give you a few pointers to go on.

Bet you a Ritz cheese cracker the bulb has popped. It'll probably be the nearside rear cluster, the opposing light will probably be a converted foglamp. (switch the rear fogs on to check this).

Wow, thanks so much for all the feedback folks! I shall now proceed to try a few of the suggestions. And yes it is an auto Steviebongo. I hope it's not a switch and is just a bulb.

Incidentally after scouring the fuse diagrams I couldn't see a fuse pertaining to the reverse lights specifically, anyone know which one it should be?

Hi Freda,There is a switch/actuator on the side of the autobox,it has a pluged connector make sure that is ok.
The only other fuse could be the one for the rear lights (under the hood)No8 15amp.

Cheers Malc.

Aha got it. Blown bulb on nearside cluster, the other one is a fog light now. Thanks again for all your help folks. And I owe you a RITZ cheese cracker bigdaddycain.

kind regards
