Backup lights wont work

I assume its the tranny button, fuse or lights themselves, anything else possibly to look for?

All those plus the manual indicates the ignition switch, although I would think you would have other problems if that was the case.

The list is;

Gear Selector Switch misadjusted
Loose Connections
Blown Fuse
Defective Backup Switch
Defective Ignition Switch

Disconnect the backup switch and insert a paper clip, turn-on ignition and see if they light or check the switch terminals with power off and connecting a ohmmeter check for continuity.

That's true. Also, the Turn Signals are on the same fuse, so if they work, the Ignition Switch and Fuse are good.

Yes. My money is on the switch. That's what wore out on mine.

I think I have the same problem and have a replacement switch - question is - where the heck is it? Do you get at it from underneath, or can you replace from top by removing the console?

Thanks,
