Lights are inop, all fuses test OK, but no power to the bulb.

This is a 2.8 with 5sp and I am unable to locate any information on the location of the backup light switch.

Any info appreciated.

Thanks!

What year 2.8/5spd?

if it is a year with a speedo cable, it will be the only wire coming out of the tranny, if it is a electric speedo, it will be the one that is not the speedo. Wink

Sig says 86....and i don't think it would have anything to do directly with the tranny
could be wiring from the reverse all the way to the lights...did you check continuity in the light sockets? Have someone put it in reverse (with the clutch depressed of course...lol) and check that. then trace the wiring on back. Good luck!

You check the reverser fluid?
