    Hello All~
    The reverse lights stopped working. No power getting to them. The fuse is
    fine. I can't seem to find the switch for it? Looked under center console
    and on trans. No luck. Anyone know where the darn thing is? I assume it must
    be the switch. p.s the bulbs are new. Thanks for any help!

    Assuming that your DX has a manual transmission, the reverse light switch is
    on the front side of the transmission near the top in front of the starter.
    With the transmission in reverse, check for continuity between the yellow
    and green/black wires coming from the switch. If there's no continuity,
    replace the switch and be sure to replace the seal washer. Note that if you
    connect the other pair of connectors together and turn the key on, the
    back-up lights should be on. Note that if you do wind up replacing the
    switch, be sure to clean up the transmission case around it to help prevent
    any crud from falling into the transmission.
