After recently getting our car back from the air conditioning company that could not fix it the cars reverse lights do not work on checking the reverse light switch out and lifting the top foam cover of the top of the engine I have found a small pipe that seems to have come off from somewhere it has an oring on it so it must have been left off from somewhere but cannot see where ?..

It's a 2016 nissan quahqi 1.5 DCI tekna

I admit to having absolutely no idea.
It might help those members who are more technically minded if you could include a photograph

Ok will do it in the morning.. do you know if there is a fuse for the reverse lights ?.. I've manually tested a the reverse switch by clipping it in and pressing the end down but still won't switch reverse lights on..

Hi I've had another look cannot see where it goes .. as it's near to where the oil filter is this was more than likely accidentally pulled out when the service was done .. do we know what it is for ?
