hi, my girl friends been having reverse light problems on her corsa.
Firstly i replaced both the bulbs, it made no difference.
i then stuck a split pin in the reverse light switch, and the lights came on, so i replaced the reverse light switch and it cured the problem for 2 days....
then when she started it up a few days later, the reverse lights constantly stayed on, and now they just dont work any more.
I thought it was a faulty reverse light switch so i got a new 1 and still, it makes no difference. any ideas any 1 ?

hmm, i didnt think so cause its just a straight forward switch. (lights come on when reverse is selcted, light goes off when not selected)
i thought that it could be a fuse but that wouldnt explain why the lights were stayin on in the first place

No relay, Clean the plug on the switch, If not unfortunately its going to be further down the line (Although most likely to be in the engine bay).

Mine did this ages ago. the problem turned out to be the reverse sensor in the gearbox  but it feels good to now have problem fixed
