    Reverse switch for backup lights is located on the center top of the 5 speed
    manual transmission. It engages the transmision internal shift rail

  3. The backup light switch on my '95 SL2 sits on top of the transmission
    housing. If you look straight down just behind the battery, you'll see
    it. The switch comes out with a 7/8" deep-set socket.

    It looks about the same setup on my '01 SC2, but there's an electronics
    package just aft of the battery that seems to require removal before
    the backup switch can be accessed.

    The switch is mounted on top of the transmission housing, to the
    driver's side of the engine, and can be seen by looking down just
    behind and below the battery. It is easily removable using an 7/8"
    deep-set socket and extender. The part is available at auto parts
    stores as well as Saturn and should cost $16-17.
