Back up lights does not work. Replaced light bulbs and check fuses, all okay. So what is wrong with my back up lights?

Hi there,

Check the continuity through the reverse light switch on the transmission. The switch is on the lower R/H/S of the transmission. Here is the switch location and a guide to help test the switch:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thanks. I had a volt meter but didn't know how to use it so the guide helped me figure out the switch was bad. I got a new one from AutoZone the lights work once again.
