Default Reverse light help..

Can anyone direct me to the relevant fuses controlling the reverse light on a Y reg (2001) 3dr Focus please?
Fitted aftermarket fog and reverse light and reverse isn't working..
Have checked the wiring as far as I can trace it.

Cheers!

Ok, on further inspection, I have taken out the centre console and found corresponding wires.. (Black and Green/Yellow) They're attached to a plug which isn't connected to anything and nothing/nowhere obvious to plug into.

Any ideas?

The plug is for traction control, which would be plugged into a switch if your car had it. You getting voltage at the bulb holder?

Probably a heated seat plug or something then. The reverse light switch is in the gearbox.

Did it work before you put the new light in?

Couldn't tell you the last time it worked, car hasn't seen the road in a while. Ok.. I'll rule that plug out then.. Any idea on the fuse side of things?
