420A Reverse Light Switch

I know this probably doesnt fall into this catagory but i couldnt find where else to ask.

My reverse lights decided to stop working.
Ive Rewired the Rear, replaced the bulbs and checked all the fuses.
The taillights and blinkers and brake lights all work (with the exception of the 3rd brake light that was removed) but i cant seem to get my reverse lights to light when in gear.

ANy ideas?
im thinking theres some sensor somewhere that links the shift nob to a relay that tells the car its in reverse (since its a 5 speed) but i cant seem to find it.

Reverse light switch is located on the front of the transmission. Look up under the battery tray and you should find it. It's got a couple wires going to it. My reverse lights haven't worked in years. I'm just too lazy to bother with it.

Have fun. There's a picture in both Chiltons and the CAPs project on the 2GNT main site.

First just take it out and clean the crap outa it with carb cleaner, usualy works.
