Anyone knows where the back-up light relay is located in the 120 diesel (2005)?

I think you'll find there isn't one mate. At a grand total of 42watts and a grand total of 3.5A. All of the current passes through the reverse switch on the gearbox.
I can give you a 100% answer on this but except for luxury vehicles, this is how the rear light system operates. I'd be very surprised if it operated differently.
Is there a specific reason for wanting to find it? Someone here might know of a tip, trick or cheating way of doing what you want. -
Ok, that figures, I´ve been searching and searching...
Anyway, I wanted to be able to turn the back-up lights on regardless of the position of the gearbox. In other words, take them through a SPDT (on/on) switch, where one position would be as normally (w/reverse) and the other pos would be on (with the park lights f.e.).
Any suggestions on the best way to do it?Comment

Remove the left hand kick panel (Passenger foot well side) and you will find three relays there! I "Think" (According to wiring diagram) it is the middle one for the back-up lights.Originally posted by FHF View PostComment

Thx SWR, I will check that out. I am not positive though that there is a relay as RanJ pointed out.Comment

I have just noticed that you are in Iceland so it is the right hand kick panel as i do believe that you guys drive on the opposite of the road to us here in Oz!Comment

There is a reverse signal in the tow bar harness connector at the back in behind the panel on the left hand side (RHD model). I built a custom relay circuit for the tow indicators and added a relay for the reverse light. According tot he manual, its a reverse on a manual and neutral (I think) on an auto.Comment
