Still no reverse lites

Alright fellow F150 owners (1997 to 2003), WHAT is the most common problem for not having Reverse Lights ? I have checked bulbs, fuses, relays... some say the control on the side of the transmission ???????? I will go with a majority wins ruling here. Thanks for any input .

put a jumper wire around the control and see if the lights come on. If they do then you have found the problem.

That's what I've reading on this forum. Yes, from 97 to 2003, very common problem. I' m just trying to cover all possibilities, cuz that part was around $80.00. Now, it's probably over $100.00. Thank you for the input, I've checked everything else, I'll be buying that control. Thanks again .
