barry0957 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 The reversing light circuit is very simple, but best diagnosed with a voltmeter (multimeter). The switch on the gearbox will power the light directly (no relay), the only relay in the circuit will be the one that supplies power to the fuse, which is controlled by key position II Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
