I' m trying to find out how to connect up to a reverse switch when i don't have the plug.. Any ideas?

Have you got the switch sticking out of the box?

If so, it's just two terminals, I think bullets will go on.

Connect one to fuse box and other to reverse light and then earth.

Pat...

well i haven't got a switch yet still looking, but i can see that it will stick out,

as soon as i find one i'll try connecting that up

Cheers

It is located on the right hand side infront of the gear stick

sorry i may have sounded confusing then, i know where the switch is, but i need to buy one, still looking at where to get one from
