WIMPUS Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 So i fitted the new one yesterday :PBut discoverd something , the new switch was 'NO' (normal open)but my old one was 'NC' normal closed :o So i remeber that there was a relais in between the wiring loom in the boot .. So the old switch , was operating the relais ( with a NO and NC contact) and there was a 12v feed to the contact om the relais .. And the wire to the reverse light bulb was on the 'NC' side .. SOO.. when you where not in reverse the relais was operating and stands on 'NO' and when you put him in reverse the relais got no power anymore and then it became NC back .. and there was the reverse light wired on .. So , it worked but it was a good bodge ! ;D Kind regards Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
