Where can I find the reverse light switch on a Corsa?

Question

Reverse lights aren't working (not bulbs), trying to find the switch under the bonnet. Any ideas??

Answer 1

your revrse light switch is under the bonnet if you look to r/h side where the gear box is if you look directly down you will see a lever it is situated under neath there it is a two wire connector and people who keep saying fuses your idiots

I Had that same problem with opel corsa lite 1.4 and i managed to change the fuse is a 20 amp fuse you will have to look for the Kl15 fuse that is i think the 3 fuse from the bottom if i am not mistaking is number 17 might be different on ure car im busy troubelshooting my issue that i have now with the breaklights im thinking to rewire new breaklight system

Answer 4

its in the top of the gearbox underneath the selector arm, with the car in reverse switch the ignition on but DONT start the engine get a paper clip and open it up then place the ends in each side of the plug in the switch if the reverse lights come on then the switch is faulty if not then check the bulbs!!

Answer 5

Do you mean the Fuse? im sorry if this isnt what you are look for, but usually in the engine bay there is a black sealed plasticy box, sumtimes located near the battery. If you undo the clips or what ever you need to do to open it, there will be little coloured plastic fuses which u can pull out by hand. If you look up on the net, or in the car manual, there should be a diagram showing you what fuse protects which electrical circuit on the car. On the later models, a secondary fuse box can be found in the boot of the car, in either one of the little hatches on the side of the boot.

Hope you solve your problem, and hope my advice is useful to you, if not just educating your knowledge. Thanks, Ash

Answer 6

it screwed into the gearbox, use look for 2 wires going to a switch ant the gearbox.

my advice b4 taking it out tho, is to disconnect the the wires from the switch and connect both contacts together, it the reversing lights don't go on either when U disconnect the wires, or bridge them, then U switch is not the problem

i take it U have tried the fuses

i hope this helps

Answer 7

I have a corsa and the fuse box is under the steering wheel dash board. For some obsure reason there are also fuses under the carpet on the passenger side. Not sure if this helps.

Answer 8

On the gearbox can be seen from under the bonnet.Bridge the 2 wires coming off switch.if you have rev lights then its your switch needs replacing.
