Default Where is my reverse switch?

Since I've had my car I have never had reverse lights. The guy I bought the car from had a new clutch put in before I bought it from him. I think the shop that did it never connected something. Any input would help. I know the the housing for the bulb does not get power when the trans in reverse. Thanks!

Yeah you should be able to reach it by lifting the car with a floor jack.

Yeah check voltage to the bulb and there is none. I think either it's not hooked up or maybe a wire is cut somewhere
