reverse lights......

so i bought a 2000 F-150 and after a short while was told my reverse lights are not working. All the other tail lights seem to be working. I suspect a fuse? But I do not have the manual that tells which fuse does what. Any place out there that has this info?
Anybody know the number of such fuse...or any other idea of what might be going on? Is there a relay switch that is not being activated when a shift into reverse?
It is a manual tranny...

thanks
mks

Download a copy of your owner's manual from www.fleet.ford.com under Maintenance

Fuse F5 supplies the backup lamps in addition to several other devices.

Backup lights are turned on by a switch on the transmission, either the TR sensor if an automatic or the backup light switch if a manual.
