Default Back up Lights

I really need help with this, I've got a 94 EX and whenever I throw the car into reverse the lights in the back don't light up for me. I've checked the fuse box and I've checked both of the lights and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. PLEASE HELP!!!

So you are convinced that the lights work, right?

And you are convinced that power is reaching those lights, right?

If the bulbs are good, and are not lighting up, you have a problem in the back-up light circuit. Maybe the back-up switch. What happens when you wiggle the stick shift, do they at least blink a bit?

No, I don't think they go on at all.

think? make sure your bulbs do not light up and I'm assuming you've already tried replacing the bulbs? did these reverse lights used to go on before while the car was under your ownership?

I've checked both of the bulbs, and they are fine. Besides the odds the odds of both of the lights going out at the same time is very unlikely. And yeah, they have worked under my ownership.

The power is not reaching them I think because it is unplugged in the back, Cause the blue wire isn't plugged into anything in the trunk of the car while the two black ones are plugged into something.
