Thanks
Column shift?? Quick and easy troubleshoot.. Disconnect the 2 wire plug at the B/U switch. Using a bent paperclip or other suitable short piece of wire, jumper across the 2 terminals. Turn on the ignition switch and if the B/U lights come on, the problem lies with the switch.. Could need a simple adjustment.. If the lights don't come on, check voltage starting at the fuse box and move toward the lights themselves.
