Reverse Lights not working

I can't find a schematic for my reverse lights. I checked the bulbs, and I don't seem to be getting power (checked with my test light) at the socket. I tried swapping in a new neutral switch, because I was told the reverse circuit was part of that switch.

Any help would be apprecciated!

Depending on transmission, backup light switch may be on transmission.

Not listed but did you check the fuse? From there you are going to need a schematic and start verifying power to the reverse switch. If you have power there find the next splice in the wire and check again there, working your way back. Don't forget to also verify you have a good ground at the reverse lamp sockets.

Good luck.
