There is a switch which is activated when the gear selector of a vehicle is moved into the 'reverse' position. This switch controls the power going to the back up lights. The switch is located somewhere adjacent to the gear selector linkage, so that it will be physically affected when the gear selector moves into the reverse position. This means that the switch location can be anywhere from the floor shifter mounting, or the steering column, to the transmission. A maintenance manual for your specific vehicle is available at most auto parts stores for under 20 dollars. This manual will give specific locations for this switch, along with instructions on how to do everything from jump starting the vehicle to rebuilding the engine, and is an essential item for any vehicle owner, I believe.
