Default "Reverse" light question driving me batty...

There was a thread here last week mentioning a "Reverse" light on the dash...I can't find one...

My manual doesn't mention one...Is there one???...

...(Or do we have a dyslexic member who mistook "Reserve" for "Reverse"???)... :crazy:

I'm going to put my vote down for dyslexia.

It kinda sounds like something GM would do...Put a light that shows you "you can remove the key now" in with a Reverse-only keylock...

But I've never seen it go on...I can see the "Reserve" light in its own little nacelle...

Maybe that guy was putting me/us on...(He got me!)... :yesnod: :lol:

...I wonder what other lights there are that might be burned out & I don't know it... :rolleyes:

I had one of my rear bulbs burn out...Couldn't reach it from the license plate recess...

...But I found that if I run the car up on two 2x4's, I can hold a flashlight with one hand, lay on my back, and reach up and get to the outer light sockets...Then the socket hangs down far enough so I can get the bulb out...

I couldn't get to it when the car was on the lift...The driveway gave me the support I needed to twist my shoulder around and up...

...The 2x4's were because my arm was 3" too long... :crazy:

I have a 4-bolt 350 truck longblock set aside...Non-roller; but I thought it'd make a good motor if I can find a decent full-size station wagon...(I have dogs)... :D
