In the process of rebuilding my car I have snagged and ripped the wiring to my reversing switch

I appear to have a length which reaches from the plug on the gearbox up to the distributor area, but I can’t find the other side, does anyone know where it breaks out of the engine loom? Can anyone get any pictures to help?

I thought rev light wiring came from inside the car, under the centre console?

That might be why I can’t find it! I’ll take another look when lockdown is over

My car is an S1 so it may be different. The wire goes up into the under dash area almost as far forward as you can go and just to the right of the centre line of the car. I'm surprised it broke the wire rather than the switch. I have had two switches break at least 1 terminal off.

So basically it comes off the body loom, somewhere underneath the car, wherever tvr could be bothered to drill the hole? laugh

Here is a photo taken from under the body of my car showing where the reverse light wiring goes up into the area behind the dash.
