    The bu switch is located on the top of the transmission.

    We also have no backup lights. I have tested the lamps, and wiring and the
    switch tests ok. I suspect a bad connection at the switch connector. Any
    comments from others?

    Same thing happened on the 'ol 2000 sl2 (the sleek blue beauty). The
    back-up switch is located on top of the transmission housing, you can
    access it by removing the battery and it's tray. I pulled the computer
    also, but found I didn't really need to. I think I had to go to the
    dealer to get the switch, but it cost about $15 if I remember right.
    You'll need a deep well metric socket... Good luck Mr. Phelps

    Do a goggle search. This thread was active a few weeks ago and somebody
    posted a link to a website with photos of the switch area. It is the thing
    on the top of the tranny with the electrical wires. (manual 5sp. I do not
    know about the auto but suspect it is very similar) I was able to
    disconnect the electrical connector without removing anything else.

    You can test the light circuit by connecting the two contacts in the
    connector, the bu lights should come on. The switch can be tested with a
    continuity or ohm meter if you have a friend shift the tranny while you hold
    the tester.

    Happy trails
