Question No Reverse Lights!!! Where To Check To Fix?!

Hey Guys-

Well I am a one month owner of this car and am finding problem after problem, mostly easy stuff to fix. Tonight my buddy was like, "put her in reverse" and it was already!!! He said there are NO reverse lights. Where should I check first to fix this? I am using a t-56 with a short shift. I think the person who installed the short shift left something disconnected in there.....or would it be a fuse? Thanks guys--

THe resverese light switch is on your transmission.
I'd check the bulbs first though.
I thought My switch was stuck after rebuilding my transmission becasue I had the same problem...till I checked the bulbs.. somehow both of them blew out. IF you decide to pull the switch out be carful becasue transmisison fluid will leak out.

Thanks guys! I just had the fluid replaced in my manual and you dont think those dumbasses could have knocked something loose under there do you?! I will check the bulbs first, then the fuses---

The tranny gets filled from the drivers side, so there was no reason for them to play with the reverse light switch on the passenger side. The bottom of the fill hole is below the bottom of the reverse light hole, so there shouldn't be a large amount of fluid leaking out.

I ran over a big water jug on the highway the other day (flew out from under the person in front of me), I will see if I broke it off or something, THANKS for pointing out where to look Injuneer---
