Default Still no reverse light

After running the wiring back to my tail lights I can't find any short. Is it maby the plug on my M5OD-R2? If so where can I get a plug.

Do a voltage check on it before you start replacing things. Make sure that you have voltage going to the reverse light switch.

Not a continuity check a voltage check you can have continuity but if you don't have voltage you still won't have backup lights.

Is the reverse lights plugged into the trans?? That was my problem and the plug that is supposed to plug into the trans was broken so ultimately I wiriled the back up lights into a cigarette lighter plug in until I can replace the plug
