I'm having an issue with the reverse lights on my '01 Golf 5 speed.
I've checked the wiring, and everything is ok. If I remove the connector from the switch and short the leads I get lights. If I remove the switch and actuate it manually, I get lights. It's just when everything is hooked up and I put the car in reverse, no lights.
I'm left thinking that something may be broken in the shift tower? What actually depresses the switch when you shift into revers? Or am I missing something else?
