cheers, but I swear I cannot find the “reverse light” fuse in them manuals .. I scan it twice 😐

Usually its the reversing switch on the gearbox which fails. Easy fix.

Unlikely to have its own fuse i’de have thought. Probably grouped with something.

Not sure which one it is off the top of my head but it is in the back of the glove box group. Iirc

In fact thinking about it im gonna guess the fuse is ok. It is in fact the cup that the bulb sits in thats kaput. New cup is a couple of quid

i had a non-working reversing light with a bulb that was fine on my Focus. Turned out it was corroded contacts. The housing that the bulb screws into is clearly not 100% waterproof – or not after some years, and with it being positioned in the wheel arch being sprayed with all the road crud time soon takes its toll. The bulb holder/housing plugs into the loom, so you can remove it. I was all set to buy a new one, but decided to give cleaning up the contacts a go, so with a bit of fine wet’n’dry I sorted out the corrosion and it worked fine after that.

I don’t think individual light bulbs have their own fuses – they are in effect fuses in themselves. Probably why you’re struggling to find it.
