Going Backwards with Reversing Lights!

Hi - still having intermittent problems with reversing lights - no power available to the rear light clusters when checked. I have tried to trace the wiring back but with no idea of where to look, it is a thnakless job - can anyone give me a steer as to where connectors might lie and, if possible, where the lighting relay is located that controls the reversing lights. I have checked and cleaned the reversing light switch on the gear shift and have replaced my battery - all terminals that I can get at are clean and sorted. One day the lights dont work - the next they are fine so it is difficult to know if you have solved the problem or simply nudged the faulty wiring!

My car is a W210 E300TD Estate 1998 and I would be very grateful for any help anyone could provide.

I don't think there is a relay. The switch is built into the gear selector mechanism and there is a two pin connector plugs into the rear of the unit.
