Reverse Lights

[Fat Audi 80]

I will have a look on Monday, I have a day off looking after my daughter. If she stays still long enough I may be able to take a look.

Anyone got the part number of the switch handy?

Cheers,

Fatty

Other note to self - you don't HAVE to post in every thread just because you can and/or have some mindless comment such as 'I can't really help you on that, but good luck fixing it'. Sorry if thats harsh but it comes across that way sometimes...

Please don't let that dampen your enthusiasm for the S2 Forum - just that when you post make sure your info is helpful and that it has a point (other than escalating your # posts tally).

I think that is a good general point Paul is making. We do suffer from posts having incorrect information in them sometimes.

Ok, access to the switch seems to be pretty easy. (even with the air box still in)

But shorting the terminals on the connector doesn't turn on my reversing lights...

Correct me if i'm wrong:
1. One of the terminals on the connector should have 12v on it.
2. The other terminal should have continuity back to the reversing light.

Right?

Sure you've got the right connector? you cant see it with the airbox in place

I've taken a couple of pictures, but I can't get them uploaded...

Can I e-mail them to you?

With reference to this for a 94 Avant - F4 is the switch in question - you should see +12V at the blue/black wire always - then when the switch is closed that makes its way along to the reverse lights.

Thanks Paul. I'll test that.

Still having problems uploading photos to putfile.
Where else can I use?

Fuse 12 is in play here - lots of other things protected by it... Like parts of the instrument cluster and illumination for console switches such as foglights, heated rear window etc

Amazing.
Here's the view between my airbox and engine.
I believe that is the switch in the centre of the picture.
