MG Midget and Sprite Technical - reverse switch

hi all,
does the green live wire to reverse light switch go through fuse box or does it have an inline fuse as mine is dead. 75 midget.

Bob,
I think they'd go thro' the fusebox (they do on my 1275 anyway)

this and much much more good information is in the owners Handbook (Ref: 0058) - http://www.mgocshop.co.uk/catalog/Online_Catalogue_Handbooks_5.html

start by checking fuse then bulbs as these are easiest

bulbs, the connections/connectors to the reverve light units and their earthing - all should be clean, sercure and protected

you could run a test lead from the battery to each light unit to eliminate them

after that it's under the car to check connections/wires on and to/from the switch and you could test the switch

it's usually connectors/wires or earths if not then bulb(s)
