What year is your car? Auto or manual? Have you checked the fuses?

Find the reverse switch. Its bolted on top of the trans by the starter. Unplug the two wires that come out of the switch. Touch the two wires together. (on the harness). Turn the key to the "on" position. If the lights come on, you have a bad switch. If they dont, you have a popped fuse or a cut wire. Good luck!
