No backup lights

First I checked the fuse, then I even checked the bulbs. Any one know what I should check next?

The switch on tranny or shifter. Not sure where though. When you put it in reverse it triggers the switch.

If it is an auto, the switch is on the shifter under the boot.

Yours is on the drivers side screwed into the tranny. Before you do anything else, jumper the switch out to make sure its bad.

Then get ready, because its expensive and a real pain to change !!

Scott , I'm guessing it is the switch on the tranny. This is a common problem but I don't think it is hard to fix. good Luck, Guy
