Not sure whats going on, checked all fuses by the drivers seat which are all
fine.
When the car is in the reverse gear, the reversing lights on the back do not
come on.
I have checked the bulbs and the connections on the back of them which
appear to be fine.
In the fuse box there appears to be no reference to the reverse lights at
all.
Any ideas guys?

Hi It sounds like it could be the switch that is in the gearbox or
corrosion in the connector. Try bridging the contacts and if the lights
work then it's the switch that's a fault.

Hi The is a fuse box next to the battery under the bonnet I know the side
light fuses are there perhaps the reversing light fuses are there too

Hi Dave
No the fuse is not there it is in the fuse box by the drivers door
(RHD) on the P10 Primera and the same fuse controls the gauges/warning
lights and the feed to the heated rear window relay, so if all those
items are working it's not the fuse. Have you checked to see if you are
getting 12 volts to the bulb connector when you select reverse?, if not
then it is either a faulty switch in the gearbox or more likely
corroded/broken wire in the connector block from the gearbox. If it is
an automatic then I can't advise as I have no knowledge of the light
switching on autos, it could either be on the stick shift or the box
it's self.
