Oh well it’s fixed now Lmao.
Find a good independent.. the dealer are a total rip off in every respect. They don't call them stealerships for nothing.

If you want the video they sent me just reply to this thread and I can email or attach it. Good luck!

My email address is iwillcock@hotmail.com

thanks, Ian

I am ok to splice in new lengths of wire but want to know exactly where to look in that trunk. Thanks

My right reverse light gets a warning most of the time lately, but it's because there's a crack in the tail lamp housing and water gets in there and corrosion is all over the bulb carrier contacts.

Wiring is laid out in the wiring diagrams. left reverse is black, right reverse is black/white. Either the reverse light is on the body mounted units or on the rear lid mounted units.
