Autotec Reverse Light Switch for CDU51/CDU51L manual-gearbox applications. It completes the reverse lamp circuit when reverse is selected.

Applications include the manual Freelander 1 with the 1.8 petrol or 2.0 TCie Rover diesel engine, and earlier R380 installations in Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. The Freelander application is not an R380 or Td4 application.

Match the original switch reference and electrical connection. AMR3918 is the later R380 reference with a different connection and must not be treated as an unconditional direct replacement.

Frequently asked questions

What does this reverse light switch do?

It completes the reverse lamp circuit when reverse gear is selected on the applicable manual gearbox.

Does the Freelander application use an R380 gearbox?

No. The Freelander 1 application is the manual gearbox fitted with the 1.8 petrol or 2.0 TCie Rover diesel engine, not the Td4. The R380 applications are separate Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic installations.

What do the original R380 VIN breaks mean?

JLR lists CDU51 to Defender VIN MA949874, Discovery 1 VIN MA081992 to MA109620, and Range Rover Classic VIN MA655198. These identify the original switch installation; a replacement gearbox or altered wiring must be matched to its actual switch specification.

Can AMR3918 automatically replace CDU51L?

No direct interchangeability should be assumed. The earlier CDU51L reference is listed with bullet terminals and the later R380 AMR3918 reference with a two-pin connection. Match the switch reference and electrical connection; a shared search code is not confirmation of a direct replacement.
