Mike,

Your reverse light problem may be similar to your previous electrical
problem. Double check fuse #16, make sure that the fuse is good and be sure
that it is making proper contact in the fuse receptacle. Next go to the
reverse light switch at the transmission and check to see if you have 12
volts at the Lt. green/white wire. IF you have 12 volts than you're half way
there. Now place a jumper, a paper clip will do, between the lt. green/white
wire and the solid green wire. If the lights come on you have a defective
reverse light switch or the switch is not screwed completely into the
transmission. 

If none of the above tests work contact me directly for additional test
procedures.

DMC Joe

Many thanks to DMC Joe and Harold for their tips regarding my lighting
problems-turns out they were both right on the money as I had a loose
connection at the #2 fuse which was easily fixed and they're back working
now.  John at Special T just serviced my rear light circuit boards and did a
great job but one of my connectors from the wiring harness to the board
isn't in the best of shape and tends to flicker out every now and then.  Is
it possible to get a replacement connector and splice it in or would the
wiring harness need to be replaced as a whole?  My only other lighting issue
now is still getting the reverse lights to work since even after replacing
the switch on the transmission and servicing the circuit boards I'm still
getting nothing when in reverse.  Quite frustrating since this one problem
is preventing me from passing a Virginia State Inspection.  As always any
thoughts on troubleshooting this would be appreciated!
Thanks again and Seasons Greetings to all, Mike
