Renault Megane reverse lights stuck on?

Dec 03, 2003 3 Replies

My Megane (1997 R Reg 1.6 RXE) has developed a fault where the reverse lights are stuck on and if I switch the front wipers on the reverse ones go as well.



Almost like the car thinks it is in reverse but isn't.



Does anyone have any idea what it could be and whether it would be easy to fix?



Don't want to get stung by my local dealer if I can help it.


Sounds like the reverse switch in the gear box is stuck , an easy job as long as you can find the switch

Hope this helps

According to Haines (sorry) it is on the left side of the gearbox near the driveshaft. It is just a case of disconnecting the wiring, unscrewing the switch and replacing it. You need a new oil seal too. You can test for a circuit with a battery and bulb or just chuck it and get a new one anyway.
