I'd just go right to the back up light switch and do some testing there. If it's a manual trans, the BU lt. switch is on the trans of course. if there's no power on one of the two wire there, with the key on........then I'd go forward and look there. It can be easy to move the fuse box around during work and pull a wire off the back of it. Failed back up light switches - I've seen a few. I'd be careful about assuming 81 and 83 are the same, but they could be the same of course. Scott turbovans
