Help Needed With Reverse Lights

Braunsteina,
I don't have a wiring diagram in front of me, but the power should originate at the fuse box (after the ignition switch). Does your manual not show the backup light switch? I recall it is a dashed line for console shift cars. I remember tracing it in my 65 (w/ console shift). It was a little confusing. I vaguely recall the power comes thru a terminal on the wiper switch. Look for a double terminal there. It has nothing to do with the wiper; that was just a convenient place for the designers to tap into +12V. There are several different wiper switches. Mine is the simple 1-speed.
