I rehabbed my NSS as well and had reverse lights for a week. Now I've got Park start, Neutral start, but no reverse lights. Any suggestions?

With the shift lever in R and the wheels chocked and Parkbrake on, loosen the NSS adjusting bolt and turn the NSS ever so slightly til the reverse lights come on.

Tried that twice with no luck. I'll have to check the fusebox and do a few continuity tests to see if I can track down the culprit.

That 7.5 amp fuse has to be good for the reverse lights to work.

Theres only one 7.5 amp fuse and its good. I also checked continuity for P, R and N...all good. In reverse, theres no power to the back up lights (which are on the turn signal fuse, which is not blown) The wiring diagram shows a "back up switch". This has to be the culprit. Any idea where this is??

Back up switch must be for the manual trans.
