Strugs 10 Posted May 28, 2014 Neither my mirrors or reverse lights are working.. I've changed fuse 14 but no joy. Where do I go next? Changing the fuse is about as far as I normally go with car electrics so keep it simple please!? TIA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted May 28, 2014 The mirror switches are a known problem for the contacts inside the switch to oxidise, there has been numerous previous threads on how to (carefully!) clean them - The reversing lights could be either the wiring going to or the switch itself on the gearbox?

GlosterOx 0 Posted May 29, 2014 Yes, the adjuster switch built into the door pull. Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 29, 2014 The reverse light system is basically a plunger switch on the top of the gear change tower assembly, they crack, dislodge or basically break. That goes through a live feed on the fuse box and to the lights at the rear. Nothing else complicated involved :)As said, the mirror switch is pretty rubbish and costs £70 ish from a dealer.

On mine it's fuse 14 (check your handbook 'cos it does vary, apparently!), so I was hoping that was the issue.. but it's not.. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
