reverse lights don't work

My 93 f150s reverse lights don't work and I need some help. Both bulbs are good but there is no voltage to the bulbs. Both sets of fuses are good. How do I find the problem? the Chilton manual doesn't say anything about this and searching online has not helped. Could it be the sensor on the tranny? If so how do you test it? please help....

I believe the reverse light switch is in the steering column, but don't hold me to it....

Whenever you do find the switch, put the thing in reverse and start following the wire back from there to the lights, probing all connections along the way.

You know the fuse is in the power distribution box under the hood right? That threw me for a few minutes when I was looking for it, thought it was in the fuse panel but it's not.
