I think this was mentioned a couple of times in your long brake light thread. It’s black but you can distinguish it from the earth wire because the reverse live has a plastic sheath over the spade connector and the earth does not. The earth also connects to the bodywork right on the edge of the access hole to the lamp cluster so if you’re in any doubt follow the wire back about eight inches. If it connects to an earthing stud then it’s earth. If it goes off into the wiring loom it’s probably live.
The earth is common to all the bulbs in the cluster and connects near the top of the long metal conductor that connects to all the bulbs. IMHO a Volvo estate does not need reversing sensors. The rear visibility is good, the back is straight and the bumper is indestructible. 😁 Last edited by Forrest; Mar 20th, 2019 at 18:41. |

This. Just edge it back until you feel a small bump.
Cheers
