Mend Ford Fiesta LX Lights Car Reg

How can I fix my Reverse Lights on my 96 Fiesta LX (Newer shape)?

My car is a '96 N reg Fiesta LX (newer shape) and the reverse light only work sometimes, this suggests a faulty switch / wiring, rather than a bulb problem. How do I access the switch to test / repair it?

Any other suggestions as to what might be causing the problem?

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Tony,

First of all, thanks for such a quick response.
Does the Connector look like a square with a Ford Logo and a arrow pointing towards the front bumper?
If so, I think I know where you mean.
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
Jan

the switch is mounted at the front of the gear box as you look down at the engine gearbox under the bonet.
there is a push down clip on the connector then pull it off
you can bridge the conector with a paper clip turn the ign on if the rest of the electrical system is ok the reverse ights will come on &m the fault is on the switch

to remove the switch use a spanner to un do it its on a thred in the box then screw in a new switch & replace any lost oil
then press on the wiring conector.
