Reverse lights on 406 estate?
Can anyone tell me where to find the switch that activates the reverse lights and or fuse?

A quick search later
Mine's fuse 1 in the engine fuse panel, not sure what year your car is though. Try bridging the terminals + see if the lights come on.

Easiest way to check is as Steve says, pull off connector and insert small gauge insulated wire into both terminals then switch on ignition. If lights work then switch is at fault. I've just replaced one on a peugot, £6 including P+P for a new one from Ebay.

If you tested the switch for continuity whilst the switch was still in situ you did have reverse selected didn't you? The switch is a plunger type and if not depressed will not make the circuit.
