Reverse Light Help!!

Backup lights havent worked in a while and truck is due for inspection soon. It's a 79 F250 with C6. I have not had much luck tracking down the wires and what each wire in the selector switch does. I do know that the backup lights are not immediately grounded to the body like the rest of the tail lights are. Any pointers on where the wires go and what each wire on the selector switch goes to would be appreciated. I do know what that one wire to the selector switch is hot and if i jump it to one of the others it turns the starter over.

You may have to replace your neutral safety switch to get the to work. It's on the side of the tranny and connects at the back of your engine near the fire wall.
