Default Back up lights don't work

i noticed the other night that my back up lights don't work. I checked the bulbs because both don't work and they were fine. i checked the fuse under the dash and the fuse was not blown. any ideas?

Reverse light switch.
I have the same exact problem and i still haven't got around to fixing it.

The switch is located on the top of the tranny.

for more info about how to install

check the switch on the tranny.if it is working,there must be a break in the wiring-start checking for continuity along the different parts of the circuit until you find the break.

it should have continuity when pressed,and not when let out.it may be the other way around,but you get the point-in one position it lets current pass,the other way it doesn't.if it doesn't let voltage through at all,that's your problem.
