Reverse switch location ?

Hi

Please can anyone advise of where the reverse switch is located as I think mine needs to changed as my reverse lights are on constantly

Thanks

I'd imagine its either under the gear stick cover or under the car on the side of the gearbox. Pop the gear stick cover off amd look in there first as its easier.
Or wait for someone that actually knows to respond here.
Or Google it. Pretty sure the question must have been asked before as I totally agree probably a fairly common fault.

According to ECS it is on the transmission case:

And an American website says it's on the passenger side of gearbox so probably drivers side in the UK.
