3B wiring schematic for rear lights/Reversing light

[SteveH]

Hi, The schematics are missing from S2Central. Does anyone have a copy they can share please? Reverse light has stopped working and I'm trying to trace the wiring. Can't see that it's fused and I'm getting no power to the bulb holder for this bulb. All the other rear lights are working fine.

I have them at work in the full Audi wiring diagram folders, is it an Avant? I can scan it Monday.

It's a coupe, but the wiring is likely to be similar. I'm just swapping to 6 speed box from a 5 speed. Gearbox reverse light switch on the box is different so I've changed the connector and extended the wiring. On the original 5 speed connector, if I bridged the two wires the reverse light would light up. I've now set this up on the new box and checked the reverse light switch which opens and closes fine. Now bridging the original wires doesn't light the bulb. Checked and I can't see a fuse blown and all the other tail light bulbs are working. I hate electrical stuff!

From memory the power is blue/black and output black/blue, I will scan it Monday.

Black/Blue and Blue/Red I think. It's switched live via the gearbox switch so bridging the wires should trigger the light. I've located a coupe wiring diagram for a different model and it shows S12 15Amp but can't locate fuse. Perhaps there's a relay involved too.

Prod me with a sharp stick on Monday

Steve, all the schematics appear to be there for the S2 Coupe except for MY91, so you should be able to glean the info you need from another model year.

yeah, I've found some but they aren't translated into English.
