Reversing lights permanently on

I noticed whilst washing my F at the weekend it's reversing lights are permanently on. Not full brightness, but a faint glow when the ignition is off and the car locked, they just stay on. Anyone had this issue before and know of a fix, it's a 2013 V8S?
 
I think that's a new one!

Presume a bad earth somewhere. Auto electrician? Or dealer?
 
Get your adjustable out and Reboot the car first - could be the 'Brain' has got confused.

I intend to pull the fuse later, I thinks it's fuse no 12 in the passenger footwell.

Fuse or not do the full battery disconnect and see if it remains once rebooted

Used to be so easy in the old days of just change the micro switch on the gearbox or mechanism
 
If I reboot it by disconnecting the battery, will it lose the 1 touch windows settings. I had to have that reset at the last service?

Some people report this, but not happened to me.
If it does it’s a simple reset to do yourself
 
Fixed it :D

Pulled fuse 12 and they went out, replaced it and they were back on.

Then I spotted the aftermarket exhaust valve remote switch wiring. The black negative wire was connected to fuse 11 l/H port. I removed this and earthed it elsewhere, bingo its sorted. So they've been glowing for around 2 years :P
