Default Reverse Lights

Just noticed that the reverse lights don't come on when reverse is selected on my '97 Avant Quattro.
Hoping that it's just a switch somewhere that's easy to replace?
Has anyone experienced this and fixed it?
Any assistance appreciated.

Kurt

Check the wiring to the hatch at the hinge.

Also check the back-up light relay -J219- in the auxiliary relay carrier I, relay position B.

Default Re: Reverse Lights

I've been told that it could range from one or both bulbs being blown to the multifunction switch being bad.

Start at the lights and work your way forward, checking the bulbs, the sockets, the connectors, wires, etc.
