Cornering lights are on the Turn/B/U/ 15 amp fuse.
The back up lights are controlled by switch on tranny or shifter(not sure which one).
Check that fuse(test it,don't just look at it)
Find the switch and test it
:cheers:

Backup & rear white side marker lights are controlled on a 6SPD by a switch located on the transmission. Left side of trans, near the front of the trans. and is possible to change without taking the trans out. Auto trans, someone else can help you because I'm not familiar with it.

I had the same problem when I bought my 94 six speed. I had to replace the reverse light switch which, as was said earlier, can be done without dropping the tranny. However, I will warn you, it takes a combination of stubby and long wrenches along with a LOT of patience and curses to get it out. The switch itself is just a little screw in plug with a ball bearing forced out with a spring...but your Chevy dealer will still charge around $60 for it, so I would make sure that is your problem first. I grounded my plug with the engine running before I took the actual switch out and sure enough, my reverse lights came on. I changed out the switch and they have been working fine ever since. Good Luck.

it should be two wires that plug into it....simply unplug and jumper them across your reverse and corner lights should go on... :cheers:
