there is no fuse

feed for the reverse light is from the CECM

check the reverse switch from the gearbox

Repair the wires?
If you're asking I would take it to a garage who knows as you can mess things up.. it's only simple wiring but I wouldn't know where to start so I got my friend Jairm to sort mine  :happy2:
