Reversing Lights - Help required

[Nifty Fifty]

My reversing lights are not working and having visually checked the fuse and lamps which are all OK. still not working.
Can anyone please advise what the possible problem could be? is there any other switching devices / relays that could be faulty and where they are located in the car? if so are they easily identifiable / located along with are they simple to replace?.
Any help would be most grateful.

Quite possibly the switch on the gearbox

Probably going to be the switch.
To test locate switch ( on gearbox just can't remember where off top of my head)
Remove multiplug turn on ignition put bit of wire across the 2 terminals in the plug if light on switch faulty.

If it still doesn’t light up you will need to check the plug for power at one of the terminals, if you have power you will possibly have a break in the wire from the switch to the Rev. lights. Most likely to be the switch though.
