Hi guys my reversing lights and reversing sensors stopped working at the same time are they connected to the same fuse or switch and where is the fuse or switch located please?

 

any tests I can do?

Both are activated by the reversing light switch on the the gearbox. Not unknown for the switch and particularly its wiring/plug to be damaged/corroded as its usually underneath the car.

 

is there any photos of where it is and what it looks like how to get it out?

You really need to know the gearbox code, but the workshop manuals are not going to be crystal clear.

PM your VIN if you don't know your code.

As replied in PM, no dice... as the car has no electronic service history entered.

 

Though a dealer or Skoda UK webchat might send you all the details on your car, in reality here is the basic...

The gearbox itself is 99% mechanical, and any electrical wires going to it should be 1 or max 2 (reverse sender or starter motor electrics for example) so not too hard to locate sender.

 

Instructions are like this roughly speaking.

 

 

200%

thank you guys
