Default No Back up lights

My 91 back up lights do not work, it is not the bulbs or a fuse. Where do I go next? Thanks

If the bulbs and fuse is good, then its the back up switch located on the upper drivers side of the tranny. PITA to get to. It's the switch closest to the bellhousing.

I have a brand new reverse switch I bought for my 85 4+3 a year ago, but sold the tranny and upgraded--paid $25 for it--never been opened
Not 100% sure what years it will work for, but let me know!! chillcat34433@yahoo.com

It has to to be your switch located on the side of the transmission. I had the same problem, replaced the switch and the lights worked.

Same with mine, bad back-up light switch. Located on the left side of the tranny, not too bad to get to. I got mine out with a double offset box wrench, changed it in about 10 mins, took longer to jack up the car.
Oh yea, they aren't cheap.
