Where is the reverse light switch and how do I access it?
On transmission from underneath car?
Thank you.

Yes, there’s two wires that go onto a switch on the side of the gearbox, pretty sure it’s on the N/S.

You’ll have to crawl underneath to see it.

If its a left hand drive car then its on the passenger side. As Tim says two wires on a plug at the side of the gearbox

In case you need to locate it as it's not working, bear in mind the switch might be fine but the pin can wear down to an extent that it stops working.
People often replace the switch and wonder why it doesn't fix it.
The pin is cheaper to replace than the switch.
