Hi mate, Had a customer in today, no reverse lights either side and could see the bulbs were good. Checked the fuse it looked good too so I tried this quick check New reverse light switch needed. Cheers for the nice and simple vid mate 👍
Thank you for sharing this.Your style and content is great so appreciate your time and effort in making these videos which are good to watch.Have subscribed.
I've been looking everywhere for a vid like this! My reverse light on my fiesta only works once a month if I'm lucky! And had no idea of where the switch was! So thank you very much 😁
Yeah my ford fiesta Mk6 reverse lights have just stopped working, my girlfriend told me yesterday to my great delight, I think it may of worked this morning though but it's intermittent so maybe I need a new switch? I'll ring garage up Monday didn't think it was a new bulb as both didn't work guess could be fuse but I don't know why that would blow so the switch seems the likely culprit.
@@thew4rrior5code it’s definitely your switch , mine did the exact same! I bought my replacement online! It’s a cheap fix! And you can fix it yourself very easily! No need for a mechanic
@@danielthompson2708 Yeah everything is a quick fix if you know what you're doing lol I don't fancy going under the car tbh but yeah I've seen a few videos on it looks fairly straightforward I guess.
@@thew4rrior5code yeah you just put the front of the car on a ramp to get under it, screw the old one off and put screen the new one back in! You just need the right size of spanner! 😁 and I’m no mechanic haha , it’s like replacing a light bulb
Quick tip on checking if the reverse bulb needs replaced or if it's something else like a fuse or switch... keep your window wipers on (front wipers) then put car into reverse, if the rear wiper doesn't automatically come on then it's definitely not the bulb that's the issue. (more than likely fuse or switch)
Thankyou iofix, iv just ordered a reverse switch today as my reverse lights dont work and my rear wiper also doesn't come on when I engage reverse gear with front wipers switched on
very informative thanks! have the same problem on my 2008 Fiesta Style Climate. also have another annoying problem with the boot release button and the button on the key. i think it could be the motor that's gone.
Amazing thanks you helped me solve the problem that the halfords "experts" couldn't really should youtu.be it first next time. Very informative video again thanks.
Great video thanks, what size was the nut on the switch please has thinking of a trip to the scrap yard for some other parts I need so will check any switches I see Thanks again
Hello, what is the colour of the reverse light at the rear of the car that connects to the light bulb? asking because I'm trying to fit the parking sensors, but I'm not sure to which cable I should connect the red wire. thank you
Ive just changed my bulbs on my reverse lights as they look like gone ive checked my fuse and looks like needs new as i aint got one of them pens as such to test it, if i had to order a new fuse what do i order??
If it's the same as the car in the video then u need a 7.5 amp mini blade fuse. (Please support the channel by subscribing if the video helped you. Thanks)

Great, glad it helped, yes I would imagine it should sort your rear wiper not switching on too.
My wiper works but lights are intermittent does that mean j need a new switch still?
very informative thanks! have the same problem on my 2008 Fiesta Style Climate. also have another annoying problem with the boot release button and the button on the key. i think it could be the motor that's gone.
You're welcome, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. does the boot release using the key?
Great video
Thanks :)

Great video thanks, what size was the nut on the switch please has thinking of a trip to the scrap yard for some other parts I need so will check any switches I see
Thanks again
Glad the video helped. Can't rem the nut size I'm afraid.
23mm deep socket to take the sensor out?
Does this work for the durashift automatic gearbox models too?
I'm not sure - best to just check if there's a similar/same component there.
Very informative I have an issue with reverse lights this will help 😀
Great, hope it does - thanks for the comment.
what site was it that you got the new switch from

I don't know I'm afraid. U might be able to figure it out by carefully examining what goes where through the connector and light unit.
Hello! How much transmission oil comes out when you remove the sensor? Needs a refill?
Very small amount - I think it's at about the fill level anyway - I didn't top it up.

Would this work on Ford Fiesta 1.25 LX 2004 3dr?
Yes, it works. I've just changed it.🎉
@@bm-hp2dw Great - thanks for the follow up.
Is the reverse light switch a common issue on these cars?
Not particularly common as far as I'm aware.
@@iofix Ok, thank you for the reply
