Vette(s): '69 convertible
The back up lights on my '69 with 4 speed aren't working.
Besides the obvious bad bulbs, what else should I check?
Is there a fuse specifically for the back up lights? Where is the switch located on a 4 speed?

The backup switch on my '70 is located on the side of the transmission where all the linkage connections are. Could be the that wire connections have worked themselves loose or the switch has gone south.

To parapharse one of Artie Johnson's characters from 'Laugh-in" - "Veerrrryyy carefully!". There isn't a lot of working space between the tranny and the tunnel but you can access the switch from below with the car up on either ramps or a lift.

Mine stop working sometime in the last year or so. Don't know when they stopped, but guess I need to get back underneath and check out my wiring (wonder if the batteries in my multimeter are still good |laugh| )
