The gearbox reversing light =
switch on my
manual 1.9L is strangely on the gearbox!
But seriously when I look at =
the engine
towards the gearbox on the top LHD side you will see two wires connected =
to the
switch which is a sort of aluminium square box. Remove the wires =
and
unscrew the switch, I managed this by hand and did not need a =
wrench. I
guess if it's tight you might need to get under and reach up to get
access. Replacement I think is the only answer as the unit seems =
to be
sealed, unless someone has managed it.
The switch might be different =
with an
autobox, but I guess the switch will be the same.

Thanks guys for your help =
on this,
sounds like a good project to do during Turkey day. (strange =
American
holiday.. don't ask.) So, may I inquirer exactly where the reverse =
light
switch is? Is it behind the Speedo panel or someplace =
accessible like
that? And how does one clean it? Does it disassemble?
Should I clean it with a contact cleaner or possibly some
alcohol?
Your wisdom is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
gentlemen.
