Do you know how to get to the revers lights switch on the gear of a Ford Mondeo 2011 2261cc?

 

I do not have access to non US market fords, but if you list what transmission you have I may be able to cross reference it to what the US has and give you fairly decent answer.

If it is a automatic transmission then that sensed by the range sensor, either internal or externally attached to the pin the shift cable connects to on the transmission.
If it is a manual transmission then the reverse gear sensor is generally a two wire external sensor that screws into the transmission, much like a oil pressure switch.

 

Hi Scott. Thank you for your answer. The transmission is automatic

.It is covered by the battery, the air filter box, the fuse box and more

Therefore I can't see the transmission's upper part

 

Enclosed are some pictures.

After dismantling the air filter box you can see an electrical connection on top of the gear box but, it doesn’t look like a typical backup (reverse) lights switch.

Ok wikipedia says that the same auto transmission in the mondeo is used in the focus so this is from the focus workshop manual.
Here is a picture for the location of the range sensor.


Here are the removal and installation instructions.Removal

1. Disconnect the Transmission Range (TR) sensor electrical connector and the selector lever cable.

1. NOTE: Failure to hold the manual control lever while loosening or tightening the manual control lever bolt will transmit rotational torque to the TR sensor and shift mechanism.
   Remove the TR sensor (automatic transaxle shown removed for clarity).
   1. Remove the manual control lever.
   1. Remove the TR sensor bolts.

Installation

1. NOTE: Failure to hold the manual control lever while loosening or tightening the manual control lever bolt will transmit rotational torque to the TR sensor and shift mechanism.
   
   NOTE: Do not fully tighten the bolts at this stage.
   Install the TR sensor (transaxle removed for clarity).

1. Using the Transmission Range Sensor Alignment Tool, align the TR sensor and tighten the bolts.
   • Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

1. NOTICE: Do not use air tools on this bolt. Hold the manual control lever while tightening the manual control lever bolt, failure to the manual control lever shaft or the Transmission Range (TR) sensor could occur.
   Install the manual control lever.
   • Tighten to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft).

1. NOTICE: Check the manual control lever is in position 2 (same as D position) or the selector lever cable will not be adjusted correctly.
   Adjust the manual control lever to TR sensor D position.
   1. "L" Low
   1. "D" Drive
   1. "N" Neutral
   1. "R" Reverse
   1. "P" Park
   • When in position D, the marks on the manual control lever line up with the marks on the TR sensor.

1. Connect the selector lever cable and the TR sensor electrical connector.

 

Thank you for your thorough answer Scott.

After dismantling the air filter box I took some pictures and uploaded them to this forum but somehow they are not here. I shall try again.

That looks like a different transmission then what comes in the focus.
Can you check the door jam sticker if it says what exact transmission you have?

I should clarify that I assume that is still the range sensor and that is what tells the PCM what position the transmission is in. Its just a different transmission so its in a different place on the transmission.

Unrelated question for @Hayapower Why does all the numbered steps change to 1's when I post, when I copy and paste it the steps are correctly numbered but when I post they all change to 1's
