- If your reversing lights not working or stuck in position ON, likely you have a problem with reverse light switch. This video shows how to test and replace it on example of Volkswagen Golf Mk4 1.9tdi.
There is a chance that your Golf Mk4 1.9tdi can have different switch, although testing it would be the same.
Here's some additional info.

I have to say you're videos have really helped a complete novice (me). Thank you very much.
You're very welcome :)
Thank you so much for this video. I broke that switch and for the life of me and the past 3 months I have not been able to find out what the heck it runs or what it is. Just to night I realized that I don't have reversed lights so I watched your video and what do you know. I thank you again!
You're very welcome 👍
Thanks for this help. Reversing lights not coming on, took the switch out and wd 40 both ends and it works now fine. I did note that the ignition had to be on and in reverse (obviously engine not running :) ) to make the reversing lights come on. Switch off the ignition and the lights won't work. I guess the bayonet button plunger contact gets corroded and was cleaned with the wd and working it in and out a few times. Cheers
Straightforward, great video, thanks
You're welcome 👍
You sir are a hero!
Thanks :)
Marvellous things these multi-meters
Thanks.very informative vedio
Thanks 😊
Thank you!
You're welcome 👍
What about if the light comes on when the gear is selected, but then goes off again straight away? Still likely the same part?
If it's a manual gearbox, these switches are normally simple mechanical switches that get pressed when reverse gear is selected. It doesn't even go through ECU, that's why car doesn't notify you when something wrong with reversing light. They can be different type, I have like 3 different videos on my channel... So yes, if I would have this problem - reverse light switch is the first thing I would look for.
in my car is the plug with the wires that is missing and someone connected the wires really bad... can someone tell me the ref of the plug ?
For parts numbers I can recommend this website:

Not sure if they will show plug though. Try ask dealership? Or some auto electricians?
does this work the same for a volkswagen jetta wolfsburg mk4 1.8t?
I'm not sure what kind of gearbox is there, but principle is the same. The switches can be different - have a look in video description.
Very Nice Video
Thanks Mike 😊👍
If I may ask, all vw golf 4 using similar reverse switch uses same unique number?? The 02A 945 413??
No. Type of reverse switch depends on type if a gearbox, and Mk4 was coming out with so many different engines and gearboxes. I know good website listing all part numbers for VAG's, check it out, hopefully it will help you:

What is the name of that metal? Time: 6:20
Sorry, I'm not very good with terminology
Do you have a video for a vw caddy 09 plate? Cheers
Sorry Mr King Dong, don't have Caddy, don't have videos. What's a matter?
Thank you Sir
You're welcome :)
