Reverse Light Switches Off???

Snakewagon · Feb 9, 2015

On my Defender 300tdi the reverse light turns off when the bulkhead lights are turned on.
Reverse light works fine if no front lights are turned on.
What have I done wrong

Sounds like an earth fault. The reverse light is likely earthing through the sidelight wiring. Start at the rear and remake/check the earth for the reversing light.

The wires from the reverse switch are notorious for wearing through and touching the chassis/other metal part. Worth checking from there first. As Zeaphod said.

Thanks for the advice and yes queen Pricilla dear I'll get round to introducing myself once I've figured out how it works
