I have the same problem. Is there a seperate fuse for the reverse lights cause all my other lights work fine?

its probably your switch.. on the top of the tranny you will see a plug going into it.. remove the plug and use a wrench to remove the switch from the tranny.. check the continuity of the switch (you have to push the metal ball in to make to it on). if you have continuity check the load.. mines gone bad, ive been to atleast 6 auto stores and ordered a new switch but the new one is too long as has the wrong connector.. satan wants about 65$ for one as the autostores want 15-20, but again they all have the wrong part number listed.. and no matter what trim line you look at it all lists the same part number...

if anyone knows of a place other then satan to get a new backup swtich for a mtx please let me know! :)

Geez thisismygs! your car is just like mine! haha

anyways... My reverse lights haven't worked since i bought my car(2 years ago). i've looked at fuses and everything. I guess i'm gonna check this tranny switch thing out this weekend, but it sounds kinda weird. I'll let ya'll know if i get any ground breaking news.
Later,
