I didnt think reverse lights wer a testable item on an mot?

dunketh

No idea, my last car didnt have them fitted.

I thought they were one of them things that had to work if they were there?

rutts

mate a new switch is aboutŁ15.00 from ford as for test your ok not a mot item

dunketh

Err.. I'm a little stuck now.

I just went out and bridged the two contacts on the switch wiring and still nothing.
Bulbs are fine, all fuses are fine... err.. what next?

I thought bridging the pins would turn them on.

Stupid question? Was the ignition on?

dunketh

Yup.

I can see me running a new length of cable from the switch/live to the boot if all else fails.
I dont fancy picking apart a 20 year old loom.

Bloody horns broke now too. Relay clicks but theres no 'HONK'.

The reverse light plug runs to a multi pin conector after about a foot or so check thats plugged in and or not coroded, but it doesn't matter for the MOT they aint part of the test
