Reverse lights

Postby Cheese Monkey » Fri Nov 09, 2018 1:03 am

Evening chaps,

Got a problem with the reversing lights on my Jumbo 2.4. Will only come on occasionally if I mash the gear stick in and out of reverse repeatedly and then hold it in a specific spot. I’m thinking it’s probably a fault with whatever switch/sensor it is that turns them on?

I think you've answered your own question, just replace the switch.

New switch, sorted 8) . A deep socket would of made life a lot easier than fiddling a spanner in there. However it only needed half a turn in the end to loosen if off enough to unscrew by hand.
