reverse light switch is on the front of the gearbox, black 2 pin round plug goes onto it.

Fuel guage, if you un plug it, if its the sender the guage will then go right down, if it stays where it is, its the guage.

plug should be under your rear seat, will also be one for the fuel pump, heavier wired one is for the pump.
