[QUOTE="Raja_Mongkut, post: 694182, member: 7413"] Reverse Switch Repair My reverse light hadn't been working since I acquired Greenie a year ago, PO mentioned the reverse switch was bust so I blindly took his word for it. Replaced the switch, and it still didn't work so I moved on to the fusebox and found a busted 15A fuse. Replaced the fuse and tried again, no luck except another broken fuse. Something was shorting somewhere so I didn't pursue further. When i removed my shifter plate to install my DSSR linked [B][URL="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?56518-The-DIY-Short-Shifter-Bushes-Mountings-amp-DSSR-Mod"]here[/URL][/B], thought of removing the reverse switch cable to check it out.
