Hi folks, hope you are all well!
My reverse lights have stopped working and the bulbs are ok, my next checks are the fuses then the switch.
Can anyone advise the locations of these please or anything else to check?
Thanks

Re: Xsara Picasso reversing lights problem
The switches are a fairly common failure, depending on which gearbox is fitted it will either be right on the top of the gearbox casing or slightly to the front, it has a 2 pin plug.
Disconnect the plug & bridge the 2 terminals with a piece of wire & turn the ignition on, if the lights come on the switch is faulty.

Re: Xsara Picasso reversing lights problem
The switch should be located here.
Cant remember the socket size off hand to remove it but the socket needs to be quite thin walled as the recess it's in is quite narrow.
