Audi A3 reversing light wiring

Jun 07, 2008 2 Replies

Does anyone happen to know what colour the wire for the reversing lights of an 06 Audi A3 sportback ought to be?



I'm in the process of fitting a reversing sensor kit and discovered that the wretched reversing lights are in the tailgate which make it a lot fiddlier. I've found the buch of wires leading to the tailgate lights and I have a choice of yellow & white, red & blue, or solid brown. Of the three, I'm guessing it's the yellow & white one but it would be nice to know for sure.

I wouldn't bother trying to find out, just stick a voltage meter or test lamp on each one in turn to see which one is powered when the reverse lights are on. Poke a needle into the wire to get a connection without needing to cut or strip insulation.

It didn't come to that in the end. I found my multimeter and managed to make contact with the lamp connections. Thanks for the tip regarding the needle though.

(It's the red & blue btw)

Regards

Tim
