Reverse light switch

[Shnozz]

Anyone had to replace one? Gearbox end switch I think must have gone as neither the sensors or the reverse light work when reverse is selected.

Coupled with the reverse camera not working with the upgraded Pioneer head unit I am now blind when it comes to tight parking spots...and we know how good rear visibility is(nt).

Shnozz did you ever get this sorted out? My 2010 Evora is having the same issue I've already checked the fuses for the reverse light / backup cam and it's good (tested good). Was working great and then went to start car next day and no reverse lamp / backup camera.

Thanks!

Apologies - only just seen this.

Yes, swapped out the switch and the reverse lights came back into play. The on/off for the camera came back to life, sadly the camera needed a lot more work to get functioning as it should, but that was car specific.

What switch did you swap out? Is it one on the transmission itself? Can't find much info for this from Lotus Talk or other forums. Thanks for checking back on this , hopefully this'll help not only me but someone else. Since posting my reverse lights came back randomly for a bit and the camera of course worked with it. Now they are out again, though when I put it into reverse the head-unit kicks on the reverse camera screen just no video feed, but again no reverse lights so I assume it's all tied to my reverse lights not coming on.

Thanks again

EDIT: Do you have a part number for the switch? Looks like Lotus Parts don't even list the reverse switch, is it the same as another Toyota car picking up one locally? Thanks again !
