The reversing light on my 1997 D90 300Tdi stopped working a while ago and I decided to sort it today.
I removed the centre seat and panel underneath and could then locate the switch by feel. Without being a contortionist, it would seem very difficult to get at it from below. I shorted out the female connector and the reverse light came on, so the electrics are OK.
Google says this switch is not adjustable. Is this correct? The one on the LT77 apparently is. Whether it is or not, it is going to be a sod to get out. I got a flattish 19mm ring spanner onto it by threading the wiring and connector through the spanner but I couldn't get it to turn because the spanner snagged on the side of the gear box. Either I need a cranked ring spanner or I need to make up a special tool with an old 19mm socket and a piece of bar. Or, if the switch really has to be replaced, I can cut off the wires and use a socket. Google makes mention of a "special tool". Any ideas what that looks like?
Of course, after all this fiddling around, the reverse switch decided to work. Frankly, I don't trust it and, depending on advice here, would prefer to go for a replacement switch.
Any comments? Am I on the right track?
