"Reverse" lights not working.. Any1 had this problem??
Both reverse tail's dont work..
I check for any blown fuses on the fuse box inside and out.. and nothing
Then B 4 i bought new ones i check the current reverse bulbs on "both" sides of the tails by swaping them arround on the brake socket's.. and bulbs do function..
I check for power on the socket/wires and am NOT getting any power..
Now.. everything on the car seems to be working just fine turn signals,dome map lights,gauges,DLR, ECT..
EXCEPT for the reverse sockets/ligh bulbs
Sockets are really clean both.. even that wouldnt explain BOTH sides going out uuhhmmm....
Can it be my reverse switch by the tranny..??
I have a 99 camaro M6
Any One had this problem or any good advice..?? Thanks!

It could very well be your reverse switch on the tranny like you mentioned. It is on the right side of the tranny about in the middle, I believe. Just unplug it and use ohms meter on the switch. It should be open when not in reverse and closed when in reverse.
