No back up lights 1979

hey guys. it's me again.

I can't find the connector for the back up light switch anywhere. I know that it should be near the wiper motor and come from the dash harness near the radio.

However, I have a manual car, but my harness is for an A/T car. Is there supposed to be a back up switch connector on an A/T harness or do I need to wire the back up switch into the neutral safety switch connectors somehow?

Thanks!

The back up light switch for my automatic is under the shift console, the stick shift switch is mounted on the transmission.

You could take the pink and green and run them through the firewall and connect them to the reverse switch on the 4 speed.

The backup switch itself is in the transmission for a manual, I think, and it should be hooked up the the reverse light output on the transmission.
