Reverse lights not working XC90
Hello all,
MY04 XC90 I noticed that my reverse lights no longer come on when I throw the car in reverse. I have checked around and it seems as there is no fuse for the reverse switch. I don't know what to do outside of taking it to the main stealer to have a look but I thought I would canvas the forum first for some good old fashioned local knowledge. Yes I have checked both bulbs and also my aftermarket reverse camera does not activate as well whereas before it did. |

Sounds like it may be the reverse switch gone faulty - the camera will get its feed from the same place as the reverse lights
On a manual gearbox these are normally mounted on the gearbox housing Don't know where they are on an auto though Have you tried googling for the info? Cheers Dave |

Do you have towbar electrics fitted? They suppress the rev lights when a trailer is detected.

If it is an auto and R appears on dash when I reverse then the reverse switch is working
Check reverse fuse and also relay in REM. I think the 2004 XC90’s had reverse relays

Thanks for the advice Harley Dave. I have googled the heck out of this problem. Seems like everything is pointing to the relay switch.

Sorted!
Hi Guys,
First of all GREAT advice and links from everyone who replied. In the end it WAS a fuse in the REM but the Haynes manual shows the wrong location. I have found a link to the right location and will share this with everyone and hopefully it can help someone else who has this problem. http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/...04xc90_09b.htm CORRECT MODULE LOCATIONS |
