backup lights not working

Sooo I am slowly getting the little bugs out of my 2008 F250 Screw FX4.

One thing that I cannot figure out is the backup lights. They do not come on when putting the truck in reverse.

I have replaced the bulbs and think that i have checked every fuse. With the truck in reverse, I have checked with my handy dandy electric light checker thing and have nothing going to the lamps. I even checked the big trailer plug on the hitch and have nothing going to the center pin (backup lights for big trailers).

Anyone else seen this problem? Anyone else have a solution that I might not have checked yet?

I am about to install a backup camera and I dont want to run a power cord with switch all the way back to get it to work.

Any advise would be appreciated!!

Stephen

PS, for what it is worth, the backup beep things do not work either. Not sure if these 2 things are associated or not, just thought that I would mention that.
