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?
