Default Reverse Lights

No power back at the connectors for reverse lights and cant find the wires coming out of the tranny to check for power there.

I'm assuming its the 97 you're having issues with? Reverse light switch should be on the drivers side of the tranny, on the top, towards the front of the truck. You my not be able to see it, but you should be able to get our hand up there and find it by feel.

Yea its on the 97, I am going to crawl back under there today and mess with it. Is there a common spot where those wires burn or connectors go bad, just so I had something to look out for. Thanks.

It could just be the switch itself is bad. I just checked mine today, and the switch was bad....its a $70 part from advanced, so i just wired a foot activated toggle in, for now.

Thanks guys. I found that switch for $37 at autozone. Going to pick it up tonight, just letting you know in case you dont want to spend 70 on one.
