Hi all
Reversing lights have stopped working on above 2010 car. Sensors still work. Bulbs both OK. There is no live feed to rear reversing lights when in reverse gear.
Auto electrician has spent 3 hours on it, traced all wiring for continuity, and found no issues around tailgate gaitor. A live feed is coming off gearbox to control unit when in reverse, although it's hard to trace whether it's a multi pole switch that may have a separate feed for the reversing lights - all extremely complex and may even be an internal switch on powershift gearboxes?
I have disconnected battery for an hour to do an ECU reset and still no change.
There are no fault codes present.
The auto electrician and local garage are suggesting an ECU module change, so a very expensive fix. It's a post Feb 2010 so everything is module controlled rather than conventional switches, relays and fuses.
I'm at a real loss as to whether to spend this sort of money when there's no guarantee it will fix it, although there isn't a lot else to try (unless we try and wire reversing lights from a live feed to reversing sensors, can't image that is simple).
Any advice or experience would be really appreciated.
Many thanks

Thanks - really useful reply. I haven't asked that question - will do. I should have added it's not been into main dealer yet - all been done so far by a very good and logical auto electrician and local garage using their own diagnostic kit, who continue to try and research a more certain solution.

Sounds like it might be a good idea to get it on the Ford dealer kit and see if they can resolve it. At least it can go in with a number of potential causes already clarified....

I've just had a full new set of tyres fitted to my 2013 BMW 5 Series Touring at 29,000 miles, the garage also did a wheel alignment check, and some adjustment was made to the toe on all 4 wheels. My fuel consumption has now increased from around 53-54 mpg to consistently under 50. The new tyres fitted were exactly the same as the originals (Pirelli Cinturato P7s). The garage has rechecked the alignment and says everything is okay, but the fuel consumption has not improved. No other servicing has been performed. Could re alignment have such an effect?

Thanks Read more

If my car's tyres are wearing evenly I would not let anyone fiddle around with the tracking. I've never had a tracking job done properly yet, after they have messed around the steering wheel is off centre and the tyres start to wear unevenly.

If you took your car to have your tracking done at 5 tyre places, the readings would all be different....

Hi Everyone, I have a 2006 Mk2 Ford Focus, which unfortunately had the dreaded instrument cluster problem where the dials kept dropping out along with flashing warning lights. Fortunately I work at a company called Cartronix who specialise in repairing instrument clusters!

I see Ford Focus instrument clusters come to us everyday, both Mk1 and Mk2's for various problems!... Read more

Take it back or speak to Peugeot UK and see if they'll arrange for another dealer to sort it if you've lost confidence in that one.
