Switch is on the trans driver side, upper half of the motor. Check continuity at the switch.

Uly, others have said it's a PITA which is why I've been putting mine off. I have a picture of a tool that someone made to make the job easier. If your interested, I'll send it to you in an email. I don't have a way to post pix.

I borrowed a tool from Bill B that made it much, much easier. I think he charged like $5 for rental plus shipping.

The switch can be replaced using tools available at Sears. Here is the information I posted in 2004.

The back-up light switch can be changed using common tools bought at sears. Buy a 22 mm 12 point deep socket, cut it off so it is just long enough to reach the bottom of the hex on the switch. Buy a 3 piece socket cap set from sears (these are adapters that plug into the socket that let you turn the socket with a wrench). Put the socket cap into the socket, put the socket on the switch after removing the electrical connector from the switch, and break the switch loose with a wrench. Remove the socket from the switch once the switch is loose enough that you can turn it by hand. There is not sufficient room to leave the socket on the switch and screw the switch all the way out. Before removing the switch you will need to take the slave cylinder loose from the bell housing and move it to the side to give you more room to work. There is also a small clamp on the line leading to the slave cylinder to remove to allow the slave cylinder to move easier. The piston in the slave cylinder is spring loaded and will extend when you remove the slave and you will have to re-compress the spring when you re-install the slave.
