95 wrx reversing light help ?
 
On my missus's 95 wrx both reversing lights are not working.

Have replaced the bulbs, no joy.
Noticed they were both rusty in the holders from excess moisture, so dremeled them clean, replaced bulbs again. No joy

Any ideas ? Maybe the fuse has gone. But which fuse is it ?
I know there are two fuse boxes, one in the engine bay and one down by the accelerator pedal but they are not really labelled well

Help :Suspiciou

Here you go Swiss:

FUSE BOX LAYOUT
Fuse box interior layout is:1-19
1:15A Heater fan.
2:15A Heater fan.
3:Empty.
4:20A Cig lighter,folding mirrors.
5:10A Tail lights,parking lights.
615A Airbags.
7:15A Foglights.
8:20A ABS Solenoid.
9:15A Radio,clock.
10:10A Rearfogs.
11:15A Ignition,airbags.
12:10A Illumination brightness control.
13:15A Wiper deicer.
14:15A ABS Control,cruise control.
15:20A w/s wiperswashers,front and rear.
16:20A Brake lights.
17:15A Aircon.
18:15A Reverse lights.
19:20A Accessory socket,heated seats.

Could have a poke around the lights with a multi-meter just in case the corrosion has effected the earth.

Iirc there is an external 'switch' on the gearbox too;)

A cover, ooooo get you!

Yeah, i'd go for bottom left, my Japanese being that good n all. :lol1:

The switch is on the gearbox close to the down pipe. No direct experience with it though (yet), it's only what i have read. ;)
