Back-up Lights on '90 240 quit working. 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be marc on  Fri Nov 8 16:48 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Both back-up lights on my 240 stopped working. I checked bulbs, ground, wiring, plug into circuit board of lights and all lights work except back-ups. I put my test light to the yellow wire to the switch that's on the 'automatic' shift lever and the starter engaged --oops! What are the colors of the back-up light switch and how can I check for 12V of power to the switch at the shifter? Is there a fuse for the back-up lights at the main fuse block on the driver side? All fuses are good. Nothing is noted on the label in the fuse cover or in my Haines manual.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this is appreciated.
Oddly enough, I am car-sitting my Mom's '92 240 for the week and noticed her back-up lights don't wok either. I'll take it one car at a time, but is this a common trait for this model?
Thanks in advance.
Marc
