Reversing Lights failure.

Hi all,
Could anyone help with working out why my reversing lights have stopped working ?
Not bulb failure or fuse.
Expecting it to be the reversing light switch but don't know where it is located.
Any help is appreciated
Cheers
Ian

Are you still getting "reversing beeps" when "R" is selected?

In that case the switch is probably working unless the voltage is being dropped across it such that the lamps don't come on but it does trigger the warning buzzer;
There are several connectors, but if both lamps are out that seems unlikely, they also use separate earths so again not a common point either.
I would try a voltmeter to check the voltage after the switch, also make sure all your other rear lights are working as well as the reverse!

Many thanks
Thank you for the replly's ...We have recently changed a load of the hoses for the cooling system, and I wondered if we may have accidentally knocked apart a connector maybe?
Glad it's not the switch
Both reversing lamps are not working 
All other rear lamps are ok 
Will have another look later
Cheers

Hi Eat Aunt,
Did you physically check the bulbs and the feed,it is not unusual for two bulbs to go Kaput at the same time.
