Reverse Lights / Fuse question

Hello all,

I bought a 99 f350 a few months ago. The reverse lights haven't worked on it since I got it. The bulbs are good. Can someone tell me which fuse runs the reverse lights? Or does someone have a diagram of the fuse boxes? I don't have the manual to look things up.

Any help is appreciated.

Jason

I checked the fuses and all was fine. I'm a bit ignorant with wiring diagrams. Does anyone have a simplified way to check the wiring that I can understand? Thanks for any input.

The diagrams have the wire colors and pin numbers, etc, and are a pretty-good resource.

There is a switch that closes to provide power for the back-up lights when you put it in reverse, however it's different depending on your transmission (which you didn't mention).

Here's the wiring diagram for the back-up lamps circuit:

Could you get a friend who does understand to help you out with this? It might be helpful for him/her to have these diagrams printed out.
