Product Description
The Sebring SWITCH REVERSE LIGHT 3PIN (RS189) is designed to activate your vehicle’s reverse lights when you engage reverse gear, ensuring other road users are aware of your intentions. This switch is a crucial component in maintaining safety and compliance on the road, especially when reversing in low-visibility conditions.
This reverse light switch is compatible with selected models from Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Opel, and Renault. It is commonly found in vehicles such as the Nissan NP200, NV200, Qashqai, as well as certain Renault models like the Duster and Clio.

Common symptoms of a faulty reverse light switch include reverse lights not working, intermittent illumination, dashboard warning lights related to lighting, or reverse sensors not activating. You may also notice that your vehicle fails a roadworthy inspection due to non-functioning reverse lamps.
If you experience any of these issues, it is advisable to inspect and replace the reverse light switch promptly. Installation typically involves removing the old switch from the gearbox housing and fitting the new one, ensuring a secure electrical connection.
