Craig: I had tested continuity through the switch. That's why I was looking further.

Bill: I traced back from a tail light--to that black box. I put on my glasses and found the connector, yellow with one wire in, two wires out, black/blue.

No continuity there, so I went back under to the switch and retested. Then I reversed the wires on the switch tabs and my backup lights work. Either I didn't do a good enough job cleaning up the contacts or there is a wire break that I flexed enough to make work again. Time will tell.

Richard
