Backup Light Not Working
I have a 1980 F100 with 3-on-the-tree manual transmission. My problem is that my backup (reverse) lamps don't work and I don't know where the switch is. Can someone please help me find it so I can solve my problem. Thanks.

Before you jump to getting a new switch be sure to check your bulbs, sockets and grounds. Check for continuity. 9 times out of 10 it's not the switch.

In this link, on page 9 of 13 (16-11-10 in the manual) is that the switch located between the two shift levers in the picture?

I dont see how the switch would be mounted to the trans between the levers?
I would look at the bottom of the column for a bracket / switch that the column lever would hit.
Other wise I would follow the levers at the bottom of the column to the trans for the switch.
BTW besides the T19 the T18 & NP435, all 4sp granny first, have the light switch on the top of the trans.
