On the transmission, driver's side. Pretty far up there. Very hard to get to. After fooling around for 2 hours with the tools I had, I finally broke down and bought a deep-offset box wrench from Sears, and had it off in 5 minutes.

If light bulbs are ok (both sides next to license plate and both side marker are out) and fuse is ok, would you say it's the switch?

Yes, I had the same problem recently. An offset wrench, some tedious work with your fingers, and lots of cursing will get the job done.

Also removing the two clutch slave cylinder bolts give you room to use an open end wrench. Replaced one twice. These switches seem to fail alot.

Strangest thing - decided to check the fuse again - not blown visually.
So, for the hell of it exchanged back-up fuse w/ fuse for horn, also 15 amp.
Well, back up lights light up! So I figure horn will not blow, right? Wrong, horn works too!

When I replaced my window regulators the driver's mirror motors started working again
I did the backup light switch last time I did my clutch, looks like I'll be doing it again when I replace my engine.
