reverse lights not working
 
hi my96 turbo wagon has another problem I think its the reverse light switch has gone faulty..... I have jacked up my car to find it but am a little confused (it not hard) as there is what i think to be a sensor on the drivers side of the gearbox 16/17mm size and on the pasenger side further back two more sensors? (well i think they may be) so done anyone know whitch one i need to change

reverse switch is passenger side front one bud ,the passenger side rear one is neutral position switch i think ,

i also bridged the wires on car, reverse lights work so def need new switch

quick fix i think sorted the reverse lights
 
well ive put it back on & it seems to have done the job its not 100% cuz if i put it in reverse i have to keep my hand on stick or the reverse lights go out but i think if i remove the washer on the switch & replace with a thinner one it may be ok for now at least
