Help Needed With S Max Reverse Light

[jayhus123]

I have a smax 1.8tdi 06 plate. I was told by drivers that my reverse light keeps flashing whilst I was driving. What could be causing this??? Inhave also seen thst when the key is turned one notch both reverse loghtd come on. I think the lights come on when I change gears or may be when I break. Can some one please help.

Thanks J

1st thing i would be checking is the wiring in the rear hatch gator for any broken/frayed wires.

Hi Gregers, very silly but where is the rear hatch gator???

Many thanks

when you open the boot you will see a rubber hose going from the ceiling of the car and into the tail area. that is the area you need to check.

Could well be a faulty reverse light switch.
