Where is the back-up light switch?

I am trying to source no back up light problem. Is the neutral switch on the column the back up switch? The wiring diagrams i am looking at have 2 wires to a back up switch but the neutral switch has 4 wires

. I have a C-6 tranny with column shift with no wires to tranny. I appreciate any help.

The back up lamps switch is part of the neutral safety switch on those.I forget what the wire colors are.

Thanks for the quick reply, i'll play around with that to see if that is the problem.

This link might help. It shows a picture of jumper under the hood that's also for the back up lights.

Definately the neutral switch is the problem. Can these be repaired or better yet where can you find a new one?

i bought one off ebay. i found that some are interchangeable such as the mustang neutral switch which is what i used. im not sure if lmc carries them or not.

is it just a problem where you hold your shifter lever?? with the lights not working??

cause if that is it your switch just needs to be moved a tiny bit on the colum

You should be able to get it at your local parts store... but be warned for the sticker shock

Here Parts America has them http://www.partsamerica.com/productdeta ... 01&PTSet=A

all the more reason for me to go to a manual

If i move the switch lever by hand the lights will come on only some times. There must be something wrong with the contacts. We don't get that part store here so i didn't sticker shocked yet
