No reverse lights (Calling RLA2005)
Truck is a 1992 F150
Whole issue came about after a friend's pitbull decided my trailer harness was a chew toy.
Of course it popped a couple fuses (Instrument Cluster Lights, etc)
Replaced the harness, fuses, etc and no bueno.
No power to the bulbs themselves.
Changed the reverse light switch, figuring it couldn't hurt....Still no bueno.
At this point, new parts are a 4 pin harness kit, and a reverse switch and getting 0 power to bulbs OR Switch.
Anything else I can troubleshoot?
Thanks in advance

Since theres no power to the switch are you sure you checked the correct fuse?
The online diagrams are fuzzy so i cant read the fuse number, but it's a 15 amp in the engine compartment fuse box. Should be a diagram on the underside of the lid.

One thing to note, is a long time ago I jumpered the NSS to save nearly $50
Not sure if there is a correlation, as the reverse lights worked fine after the modification.
To date, I've replaced both bulbs and the reverse light switch; and getting 0 power to anything. Not even voltage on the input side of the reverse switch.

You have the diagram, use a meter or test light chase it down. Never fun, but the alternative is $$!!!!
