TD5 90 which I am trying to wiring in some rear light to come on with reveres. I have all of the relay power etc. I just need a power freed from the reveres circuit to trigger the relay.

I have located the reveres switch on the R380 (in a very awkward position compared to the lt77 I am used to!). I feel this would be the easiest place to take a feed from and have the floor and tunnel up to allow access (all of the relays will be in the battery box so will be a short cable run from the switch.

The loom looks to have two wires running to the switch one is green and yellow and one is green and red. Which of these is the output side of the switch (I was hoping for a green and a green and brown the same s my 110) As soon as I know which the output is I can then tap into that to trigger the relay.

Use Google and search wiring diag's here https://www.google.com/search?q=td5...iw=1536&bih=722&dpr=1.25#imgrc=59_0ui3uKMoXQM

+ do use the LZ search function, it's better/easier/quicker...

I had searched prior to posting but most seemed to be for older vehicles and could not find one showing the colours hence asking.
I worked it out the old Fashioned way with a test bulb in the end as my multimeter has stopped working (one for the Christmas list). As your diagram shows it is the green/red wire that is the output from the switch. So that is what I have used and I now have working lights. Just need to wire in the override switches now.
