Default Help Please

My backup and rear side lamps don't work. I put in a new bulb in the backup lites but that didn't do any good. I looked in my book and it says that the blinkers and backups are on the same fuse. My blinkers work just fine. Could I have a loose wire or something?
Thanks for your help

on a manual the back up switch is located on the left side of the trans (drivers) on an automatic I think it is located in the gear selector switch, this is in the console. the wire(s)
entering the gear selector switch are a dark blue feed from the fuse block & exit as a light
green feeding the back up & cornering lights. fuse is 15 amps and controls the back up
& cornering lights (this is on an 86 coupe)
