Reverse alarm on 1990 foretravel grand villa

Hya all, would anyone know where the reverse alarm is fitted on my 1990 villa please. it's just stopped working, and my indicator buzzer has also  seemed to have stopped aswell, I don't know if there linked in some way or just a coincidence, it was working fine when I last started it a couple of weeks ago, the reverse lights are still working and so are all my indicators and lights, thanks kev

This had to be an aftermarket addition.  It would be powered by the "Back Up" lights power wire. Probably at the rear of the vehicle.

Yeah that's right it would have been aftermarket I'm sure, I've looked from underneath, I've had the bed up looking down on the engine area, just can't find it, I've looked through the manuals, I found a picture of it and that was it, didn't say where it was fitted, it's got to be there somewhere, thanks alot anyway kev

   Well, i have managed to find the reverse exactly where you said it was Mike,, there were a few spider webs all around it, so got the brush in there, and gave a few light taps with the end of a screwdriver, went and put it in reverse and it is working perfectly again,,  the turn signal loud buzzer still not working, but that is a case of just buying a new one, plus it's alot easier to change cause it's right in front of me under the dash,  so I'm happy with that, thanks alot
