If the reverse light in the rear lamps does not illuminate when engaging reverse and the bulbs are functioning, the switch, also known as the bulb due to its shape, may be damaged. This switch is located on the gearbox; there is enough space to manoeuvre in the engine bay. Start by disconnecting the connector found on the left side of the engine bay when viewed from the front, near the cabin radiator hoses.

Then, move symmetrically to the other side of the gearbox where the bulb is located. Take care with the O-ring seal during installation.
