[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-Apr-02 AT 08:34 PM (EST)]I had the same problem with my 80 and the switch on the side of the tranny was bad. I don't have access to the schematic as I am posting this, but if I did, or if you have a diagram, you can look at what wires to jumper together on the plug to see if the back-up lamps work and it is the switch that is broke. There might be two other wires on the switch that go to the neutral safety circuit.
