Evening all - apologies if this has been asked before but I am on my phone and it aint very good for searching..Driving along today and had a few people flashing me and pulling me over....Turns out my reverse lights are staying on whilst I am driving. Is this just a case of pulling the reverse switch out and re-connecting it? If so is it easily identifiable so I know which switch it is? Cheers, Hayden. |

Yep, it'll be your reverse sensor on the gearbox. Re-connecting it might cure it, but a new one is probably required. Bit fiddly to reach, but from memory, its towards the rad side of the box. Should be fairly obvious when looking at it. ________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

Yep - white switch on the front of the gearbox, it will have gone permanent closed circuit.You'll need a new one, about 15 mins or so to change. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

ignore that just found the fuse box diagram and it looks like the fuse that runs the reverse switch is also for the brake light switch as well as other things haha.Might just remove my bulbs for now. |

or just try unplugging the switch, it's surely faster than taking the back lense off the light?!  ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
