Ford Fiesta 1996 Ghia - Reverse light?

I have bought a ford fiesta ghia (N) recently but the reverse light does not work. does anybody know what might be the problem apart from the bulb and fuse.

Any help much appreciated

Answers:
the simple way to do this is by elimination check see if you have power at the light with the ignition on and in reverse if you havent then try the fuse if you have test the bulb, if neither of these work its either the wiring or the switch if you have a multimeter check for continuity on the wiring if thats ok then its the switch, easy to find as it on the gearbox with 2 wires coming out of it
Try the switch on the gearbox
its the earth wire all fords are the same.unscrew it give it a scrape and bobs your uncle
