3360237 - I17 REVERSING LIGHTS NOT WORKING

Reversing fuse on facia control unit also supplies headlamp washer relay and odour sensor (if present). The reversing lights are operated directly by the switch on the gearbox connected to the positive line. The positive signal also passes through the body computer and goes to the steering column switch unit for the automatic operation of the rearscreen wiper and is sent to the C-Can and B-Can networks to indicate the engagement of reverse gear to the selespeed control unit which controls the buzzer and to the steering setting node for the adjustment of the external rear view mirrors.
