Reversing lights don't stay on

(1/5) > >>

jnoshea:
Has this ever happened to anyone else? The revering lights only come on when I push the gear lever back as far as it will go.  When I then let it relax into the position it wants to be in, the lights go out again.  Anyone know why the lever would have stopped making contact in this position?

TimM:
Mine does exactly the same, the lights come on and then stay on for 'a few' seconds, then go out, but if I pull the lever and hold it back they stay on......

Have bought a new reversing light switch (off eblag) but as it screws into the gearbox I haven't got round to fitting it yet.

If you (or we now!) don't here better, I will let you know if that cures it.

Budgie:
You should be able to adjust the depth of the switch, thus adjusting when it is in the "ON" position. Try screwing the switch in a little more and see if it make a difference.
I'll look it up later this afternoon and see if I'm talking a load of rubbish or not!  :wink:

TimM:
Budgie,

I thnk that is only on the 200 series (the LT77), ours are 300 Series (on the R380 gearbox), which you screw home fully with no adjustment.

But thanks for the suggestion, I remember seeing the adjustment on my Rave CD and in Haynes, and getting awfully confused that my bits were different.

Thanks Tim, how much is a new switch?
