R32gtr - Reverse Lights (electrical Problem)

[H@ME]

hey guys i am working on my friends r32gtr and it seems the reverse lights do not work.

from inspection the bulbs look fine!

i have tested the circuit (with the little light circuit tester) and it appears that the rear plugs which attach to the reverse lights are not getting any positive electricity.

Question - where is the fuse located for the reverse lights? (i have looked at an english translation for drivers side fuse box but cant see fuse for reverse lights)

Question - may it be the reverse sensor on the gear box?

Any help would be appreciated, kind regards, hame!

could be the sensor in the gear box. check the harness to the transmission. the plug is on the right side of the transmission and above the transfer case.

yeah as above, start with the sensor/plug on the gearbox

thanks guys i will check it out, what am i looking for exactly however, if it is pluged in? damage?

is this a common problem? should i be testing the circuit on the sensor plug with a suitable earth?

thanks for the replies!

if it is plugged in, unplug it and plug it back in. also look for damaged wires or contacts, etc. also be worth testing it with a multimeter. turn the ignition on and put the car in revers and test the plug when it is unplugged as well as when it is plugged in.
