Intermittent reverse lights - C5

[Citroenmad]

The reverse lights on my C5 are becoming intermittent, sometimes they are on when engaging reverse and other times they wont come on. I know if they are working or not becuase at the same time the reverse lights come on the C5 beep sounds to warn me ive just put it in reverse.

Does anyone know what might be the cause of my intermittent lights?

Where is the switch for the reversing lights located? Or is it all part and parcel of the multiplexing?

Thanks.

Mine was the same and then finally died a couple of years ago.
I suspect the reversing light switch, on the top of the gearbox - remove the air filter for access* - which I did then couldn't get the connector off without risking breaking it so put it all back together again. Don't know why as it doesn't work anyway.

Was going to short the contacts out and see if the reversing lights came on. Will do one day too - not today though

Gotta picture somewhere too - if I can find it

Thanks Steve, that sounds fairly easy to get at then. Ill have a look at that, might need a new switch or just a bad/dirty connection.

You can see it (just!) in the centre of this image - it isn't the one I was looking for that has it from directly above. It is next to the clutch slave.
