Reverse Lights Inop

The reverse lights in my wife's 2002 Cav don't work. The fuse and bulbs appear o.k. It's a 5 speed and one of the posts mention a reverse switch at or near the shifter. It said to follow the wire. I removed the console and couldn't find anything like that. Can someone narrow it down further for me. A picture or diagram would be great. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same problem on my 2002 Cav. I too investigated by the shifter but didn't find a switch. I then went to a shop and asked where I could find the switch and the dude claimed that the switch is now located in the steering column and I would have to go to the dealer to get it fixed?!? He didn't know that I had a 5-speed though, so maybe that location is just on automatics?

I'm hoping that others have better input on the matter that can help us out.

I have the same problem on my 00 Sunfire. I have also checked the bulbs and fuses and everything is OK. I checked on the shifter and could not find anything similar to a switch.
I'm from Mexico City and posted a question in a local forum. I got a response from a guy saying that there is a piece that I should change (in spanish he said "Bulbo de reversa" which is not the same as a "reverse bulb", but I don't know the correct word in english).
I asked him for more information, I will let you know about any news.

in my 93, the reverse light switch is on the transmission itself. dont know if its the same as the newer models or not, but just thought maybe it could help u out.
