I noticed last week that my reverse light had stopped working and assumed it just needed adjusting as that is all it needed last year when the same thing happened - but no... :doh:
I tried adjusting the switch and it made no difference so I went back to basics and checked the bulb. Bulb was fine and I checked with a multimeter and no 12v to the bulb holder.
So I went back to the switch and disconnected the 2 terminals. I assumed that one would be 12v and the other is a return which the switch will allow 12v to flow to if in reverse. Again the multimeter (with one side grounded) showed nothing on either wire
Any ideas???
I wouldn't normally be that bothered but when I reverse down my lane to park I can't see bob all and nearly wiped out the hedge earlier I was already thinking of fitting a rear spot light connected to the reverse lights (via a relay of course!) because of this but there's no point connecting it to something that doesn't work
