Hi,

Can someone help!!!

We have a 2002 Mini Cooper on which the reverse light has stopped working. I've ruled out the bulb and the fuse as these are both functional. This then leads me to the reverse light switch. Or are there any other potential causes of this?

If it is the reverse light switch I believe this is on the gearbox and accessible via the drivers side wheel arch (after removing the wheel) or through the engine bay after removing the air filter etc. Is this correct?

One more question, I've seen two possible reverse light switches for sale for this car, on an M12 and one an M14. Anyone have any idea of which one it maybe?

An info greaty received!

Many Thanks.

Luke

90% sure it will be the reverse switch. Ya access it via wheel arch, remove the old one and give it a bit of a clean, touch of wd40 and replace. Pretty sure it will work after that, if not then buy a new one and replace it!
