Number plate lights was created by Zook123
Just noticed I have no number plate lights or reverse lights, is there a fuse for this?

I don, t think it'd be the same fuse, I'm sure the tail lights are on the same wiring as the number plate lights are they still on? More likely to be loose/ corroded/fused bulbs and the wiring connector to the gearbox for the reverse lights.

As above, sounds like two separate problems!

Newbie mistake, turns out both of the number plate lights had gone!
Replaced the bulbs and it's now lighting, but can't get the reverse lights to work, i've tried replacing the left with a new bulb, but it still doesn't work.
Do the Jimny's have two reverse lights? I only ask, as all of my previous cars have only one reverse light?
Cheers!

The jimny does use both reverse lights but if you lose one the other should still work.

Sounds like it could be the reverse switch then! Before I look at doing the switch is there a fuse for it?

Not according to the diagram in the handbook. It mentions tail. stop, fog & dome as the lights which have fuses only.

Please let me know how you get on with this as I haven't had reverse lights on mine ever since I got the clutch changed almost a year ago! I'm guessing a switch was left unplugged somewhere.
I completely forgot about them at MOT time but my Jimny still passed. The tester told me that they aren't tested.

Will do, going to take a look tomorrow to see if it's something simple like the cable becoming unplugged!

I'll have a look at the wiring manual when I get home if that'll help?Zook123 wrote: Will do, going to take a look tomorrow to see if it's something simple like the cable becoming unplugged!

It will most likely be the switch. Take the plug off the switch and connect the wires to see if the light comes on. The ignition has to be on obviously and you might have to get a bit of wire and put two blade connectors on to join the wires together via it.
That will tell you that it is the switch if by connecting the wires the lights work as that is the only part you have taken out of the system.

According to the wiring diagram it should have a 10A one, depending on vin either: No 20 'TURN BACK' or No 42 'BACK' and other than that its just the switch. both bulb are earthed independently
