I was under the mini today and noticed a sensor on the front right coming from the sump, its not connected to anything but it has the two connectors for something?

Any ideas? Electrical temp sensor? guessing....

Cheers,

meehal.

What he said^^^ - power supply in - lead out to reversing light When reverse is selected the power is supplied to the globe which has the other side earthed.

ha thats interesting. i the lights with reverse just brake and indicate.

thanks for that very helpful.

You can wire up your indicators to act reversing lights. You need 3 diodes (4 if you want to use both indicators - separate supply to each side - don't loop a wire from one globe to the other or both sides will flash) (1N400*) will do - anything over 1N4001 is overkill but will do the job)

wire one into each supply lead to the globe + ---->|---- globe---earth

Later cars used dual filament globes in the indicators. On filament for flash the other for reveres. It gives you a slightly pale amber reverse light but better than nothing.
