Reverse lamps are powered from the onboard control unit. You would have a fair few other things out also if this is the case.

Should be Fuse 17. Have you checked if there is power getting to the bulb side?

17 - Fuse 17 - 5 A

- Interior monitoring sensor -G273- 30a
- Alarm horn -H12-
- Dual tone horn relay -J4-
- Onboard supply control unit -J519-

Hey thanks for the quick response,

The bulb is brand new, I also checked with another bulb - same result.
I do however hear a sort of a 'click' when engaging reverse gear, didn't hear that before..

Any conclusions?

I would firstly check if there is power getting to the lamp properly.

Use a multimeter and check the terminals.
Even better would be the harness going to the lamp. The reverse wire should be Grey/White.

Also try and locate where the clicking is coming from, you dont need to fully engage reverse to try this.

You could have a faulty Reversing Light Switch.


But i would ensure that there is deff no power coming to the lamp before proceeding anywhere really.
