Default Backup lights won't come on.. HELP!

I'm trying to figure out why my backup lights won't come on.. it's not the bulbs either

Could someone please help me out.. i can't see at night enough as it is.. now backing up is just guess work or a group effort..

I may of missed the fuse.. I did look at the fuse box but couldn't find which fuse it was.. didn't have one listed?

Also another thing not working in my car is my dome light.. I did check the fuse on that .. it was blown .. changed the fuse but it still isn't working

I have a feeling it's somewhere in the wiring..

its probably a 7.5 fuse or a 10.....

It could also be because the bulb is dead. The filiment will probably still be there as if it were working, but everything has life, and the life of the bulb is probably gone...try changing it..

There is a switch on or in the transmission that makes the backup lights come on, if it is messed up they either will not work or stay on all the time.

Is it a five speed? Are the wires to the switch on the tranny connected?
