Where does the reverse sensor plug go

[projectgtir]

Can some one tell me or show me from there car, where the reverse sensor plugs into the loom
Its the one that comes from the bottom of the gearbox .

its on the side of the gearbox. Remove Passenger front wheel, look at the gearbox from the passenger front wheel arch and its there looking at you.

Theres only two connectors on that loom that are the same the one at the back nearest the bulkhead is for the reverse sensor

...and the other one is the ignition module thingy.

Cheers chaps ,just changed my clutch and flywheel so dropped the engine and this is the only thing im stuck on.

I cant find the connector by the bulkhead the only connector i have available that fits, is by the dizzy .
I must have hidden the connector round the back by accident.

Found the bar-stuard hiding behind the inlet

was searching for info on this so I thought I would re-use this thread..
How important is the reverse sensor? My transmission guy broke off the white contact on the gear selection thinger. and put it back together.. without replacing it...

It's important, for a start without it your reverse lights won't work.

MOT fail. - You can wire it up as a switch that you flick on when you select reverse though...

what is a MOT fail?.... and if the only thing that doesn't work is the reverse light then I can deal with that... I need to get her to the painters this week so I'm triage-ing whats important LOL

[ZED_not_zee]

Show's you what I know then... maybe I have that the wrong way around and it's a failure if the light doesn't go off?

 

[ZED_not_zee]

lol great not only is my steering wheel on the right side (which is opposite over here) the reverse lights wont go off... Hello Bobby?

Yep, you've got it wrong as usual :lol: The only way a reverse light can cause an mot fail is if they were illuminated all the time ;-)
