2013 135ps Minibus

Postby MinibusDriver » Mon Jun 18, 2018 4:18 pm

Hi,

Can anyone help/advise me please?

I have a 2013 135ps Transit 17 seat minibus. There are 2 things that I require assistance with.

1 Reverse lights; both reverse lights aren't functional, the bulbs are fine and the fuse is fine, could this be the switch for the lights on the gear box?

2 Hill Start assist; hill start assist doesn't work, the light still comes on when you turn the ignition on, but it fails to function at all? Any ideas? I can't find a fuse for it, but if it was a fuse I guess even the dash light wouldn't come on?

Could the reverse lights and the hill start assist be linked? So the reverse lights don't work, which is affecting the hsa?

Is it just worth purchasing a fault code reader? If so is there one you would recommend?

Many thanks,
MinibusDriver

Reverse lights not working, almost certainly the switch in the gearbox.
Mine was exactly the same, cured with a new switch.

My mk7 was the same, hill start assist light came when started up but never worked

Plugged my computer Into it and turned it on, drove around for a coupes of days and it got on my nerves so turned it back off with computer
