Reverse Switch Replacement

Model: Fiat Stilo MK 1 - Years 2001-2010
Part: Reverse light switch

Lift the vehicle with a jack from the left side (it is recommended to safely apply a car stand), remove the wheel and the plastic wheel arch to better visualise the gearbox: the reverse switch is located at the rear, just above the driveshaft (it looks like a bulb).
Disconnect the connector from the switch, unscrew it, and replace it with the new one; then reconnect the connector, engage reverse gear, and turn on the ignition to check the activation of the corresponding rear warning lights. At this point, reassemble the wheel arch and wheel.

As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
