Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi as we in lockdown decided to tackle a reversing light issue, it comes on when the car is in neutral, I’ve decided to remove central console to find this, is the switch missing? and the two cut white wires? Help I’m confused!

POST 2Original post

Hello - I am not familiar, but that looks like a switch in your picture. If you press the lever does the reversing light come on? No idea on the cut wire except someone may have tried to take a live feed for something in the past - strange place to do that from tho..

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

H,i I’ve attached an image of another car to my reply, the switch is the large off white box, thing is I don’t have a wiring loom to attach to it anyway so I’m thinking it must be under the car, I’ve heard that prefacelift 996’s switches are under the car.
