Reverse light staying on

[callumccooper]

Hi, my reverse light is staying on when I take it out of reverse, it's not happening all of the time but god it's annoying! I've only just noticed it so I've not actually tried to figure out what it could be yet just seeing if anybody has an idea or anybody has had this problem before cheers

Revers light switch sticking on by the sound of it.

How easy is that to fix/replace?

The switch itself is really easy to replace, unplug the switch 22mm spanner and then remove and place the washer on the new sensor.

The time consuming part is removing the undertray.

Depends what model your car is, there's a black connector and a brown connector.

As quoted choice of two so would need your gearbox code (3 digits) but the price is the same full retail inc vat

Switch choice first is the more common

02K 945 415 K - £13.20

Oring 020 301 244 - £0.34
