Hi there guys & gals

I have an Audi A3 1.9Tdi March 2009 8P1

I am trying unsuccessfully to get my reverse light to work.

Here’s what I know so far.

All the fuses are good both under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.

With the rear light cluster out and the ignition on and in reverse there is no feed to that particular bulb, I used the “rear view mirror”

I have replaced the “reverse light switch” with a new one not second-hand.

With the ignition on I have shorted out, i.e. a little wire link across the reverse light switch wiring harness plug and still no illumination.

On the fuse box cover ( inside the passenger compartment) the is nothing to suggest that there is a reverse light because the is no “reverse light fuse”.

On the rear light cluster the rear light is supplied by a blue/brown.

Has anybody come across this problem before.

Reverse lights are not needed for an M.O.T. until the car is registered after September 2009, but I would like to see where I backing up to.
 
Ideally you need to test the wire directly on the central electrics module to check that's outputting a live, then work backwards.
 
Where do I find the "central electrics module".
If there is a fault with that module then wouldn't other items not work
There is no live on either wire at the plug

I still DO NOT know where to find the central electrics module
