There is no fuse or relay just for the reverse light's .. but they will be wired through a fuse which controls something else ! (is everything else electrical working) .. I do not have a wiring diagram for this vehicle .. your local library or autoparts store will be able to supply a repair manual with wiring diagrams etc. you also need to check the wirirng.
