Default No Reverse lights??

I searched and found a few threads..none that were REALLY helpful.

Recently i just noticed that my reverse lights aren't working.. I checked the bulbs and swapped them out and no dice.

I'm starting to lean towards my reverse light switch..but i'm not 100% sure

Are there any fuses that control the reverse lights?

Not sure about the fuses but you can check the switch on the tranny.. Just hook a continuity meter up to the switch and it should be connected when in reverse.. Also check to make sure one of the wires for the reverse switch didnt come off..

Did you put the car in reverse while the key is in the on position and then test the wires/ socket with a test light? See if your getting power first before you start pulling everything apart.

I will look to see if one of the wires came out..
I'm out of school right now so i don't have access to a meter because the shop is closed.

Anything else i could try?

Thanks guys
