    There is a switch near the shifter/linkage that turns the backup lights on and off. Depends what type of trans (manual or auto) and what type of shifter (column or floor) you have that determines the location of the switch. They sometimes get out of adjustment or just stop working.

    It'll be on the steering column under the dash, just above the brake pedal. Sort of a half-moon shaped device with 4 wires.
