Reverse switch going where ?

Hi all, I had issues with reverse light and was quicker to wire up a manual reverse switch. Battery flat on the Jim so whilst charging I spotted that the switch connector end is just hanging loose. Cannot for the life of me see where the white connector should be mated with. Any ideas where I should start tracing back?

Is the white connector the one coming out of the gearbox or the wiring loom?

From memory there is only one cable that drops down towards the gearbox for this switch and i have circled it in red in the picture as well as the white connector you mention. Does the wire i have circled connect to anything? Im pretty sure everything transfer box related and rear abs drops through the body around the handbrake area somewhere.

If the gearbox has been swapped at some point or a new clutch then this may have been unplugged then. Also if its been converted from R72 to R7me gearbox the connector will be different. No big deal, either cut and connect the wires themselves (not polarity sensitive), or get a plug from the opposite gearbox to the one fitted and unpick the connector to make up what you need.

Riccy thanks for the reply. The white connector tail is going into the “switch” in the case. I think that bit you circles is going to yet another white connector but will confirm tomorrow ! No biggie as I have manual reverse spots but thought could be a quick win. Just nothing else in that area I could see that the white part would connect too.

Quite a lot of strange stuff with this jimny. History was very shady and the locks didn’t work. Rang the guy and he said yeah they do just stiff when I got home. Got a locksmith out and 100% the locks did not match the ignition barrel lol. No idea about if gearbox been changed. Did wonder if it accidentally got unclipped as the underneath was spotless when I picked it up

Sounds suspicious there then!

Ive found some better pics of the gearbox versions in one of my older posts about swapping the boxes. this will show you more pics of the boxes for comparison and maybe the wiring you need...
