Polo S 60, 2007. Reverse lights not working

Post by adam123 »

Hi

Both of my reverse lights are not working, I have had replacement bulbs put in and still no joy.

Does anyone have the fuse diagram for my car in case it is just a blown fuse?

Or has anyone experienced this before and know what the issue is?

Thanks v much

Take a good look at the wiring on the reverse light switch it is known to break causing this issue,here is mine
You can see the wiring has rubbed through and corrosion has got into the loom ,then the wire snaps
Black with red trace wire in photo broken 😳

Looks like there has already been some rubbing as well on the ABS sensor cable in the bottom picture.

Yes the metal bracket that holds the connectors has been previously bent down / incorrectly fitted presumably whilst having a clutch repair prior to my ownership
