OK. The back-up light switch is located on the top of the tranny. You will need to move the battery out of the way to get at it.

To do a quick and easy test to see if it is actually the problem, you could jump the red wire in pin 3 of connector CA1 to a +12V power source. If the lights come on when you do that, then you know that either the back-up switch is bad or its connector is corroded.

Hey I'm having the same problem and trying to figure this out. Both bulbs are good but the reverse lights won't come on.

What exactly is the bottom end of the arrow pointing to? I can't quite tell from the diagram. Also should this be done with the car on or off, or in accessory mode?

Thanks

Nvm, just checked and the wire is broken. Going to solder it back or something.
