Reversing boot lamp

[disco1]

Hi all
Just wondering if you have had a similar fault to the latest puzzler
The reverse lamp has stopped illuminating and have had the boot assembly apart today and can measure 12.8v to the bulb supply but the bulb will not light up . The side lights work ok and have used one of the side lights red wire to supply the middle reverse bulb and it lights up
Do you think it is an inhibitor switch fault ? Or should I be looking elsewhere?
Thanks in inticipation

Have you verified that the ground is good? Having voltage at the positive side doesn't help if there is no ground path! Just a thought.

Try the obvious above before considering the inhibitor switch! Some are adjustable some are not but either way you need to have slim double jointed finger
