REVERSING LIGHTS NOT WORKING

2.0 TB, 2.4 20V, 3.0 V6, 2.4 JTD 10V

When reverse gear is engaged the reversing warning lights do not work;

The reversing lights are controlled directly by the switch on the gearbox.

The Body Computer Node receives a lights on signal from the positive supply for the reversing light bulbs.

STEP	OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT	TEST RESULTS
1	CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT.	ALL OK	PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED	ACTION
