Mk7 2008 no reversing lights Which fuse? Wheres rev switch?

[goldcoast]

Morning All
My 2008 RHD Mk7 T350 140 2.4 TDCI LWB High roof has no reversing lights.
I have checked the globes and they are fine. Even replaced them with new globes - still no reversing lights. I checked the glove compartment fuses both the front and rear panels. There are no blown fuses.
Does anyone know exactly which fuse is for the reversing lights?
And where is the reversing light switch? On the gearbox? Where?
Any answers greatly appreciated
Thanks

Switch is on the gearbox

Fuse box details are still in the FAQ where they have been for a while.

Reverse light switch lives on the top rear LHS of the MT82 box...# 15520 here:

Thank you everyone.
Especially v8Dave for the link to the engine bay fuse box. The fuse in the engine bay fuse box had blown.
Now the fuse is changed system tested and all fixed. Happy days
I had forgotten that fuse box and had concentrated on the glove compartment box.

SAD BAD NEWS
The fuse is blown again and again. There is a short in the reversing light circuit. I unplugged the large plug at the bottom of both A pillars and tested the two rear circuits of the van from the tail light connections - No short The two rear circuits are ok.
I tested for the short from the engine bay fuse holder. Yes a short. When I unplugged the engine bay to cabin large connector there was no short in the engine bay.
(The circuit path is white/brown from fuse to reversing switch, then orange/gray to very large engine bay connector, then to BCM brown output connector)

So it seems that the short is in the harness behind the dash. Probably where the large harness gets crushed on the steel support panel behind the glove box. So I will try slipping an insulator sheet over the steel support . If not then it is dash out today...

FINAL OUTCOME
There were 2 faults !
1. Intermittent short to earth where the main dash wiring loom was crushed on the left hand side under the dash behind the glove box where the loom passes over a metal arm and the plastic dash sits atop the harness.
* Repaired by sliding an insulating piece of plastic between the harness and the metal support.
2. The reversing switch on the gearbox was faulty - shorted to earth (4.5 ohms to earth)
* Repaired by replacing the reversing switch.

Thanks for the help with fuse and switch locations!
