I'd check by shorting out the switch wires, and see which 1 turns rev lights on....but thats only me, there is probably a safer way.
(not sure if ign needs to be on)
Are you sure the switch is the prob?
Occassionally the wires come off where they are attached to the switch, or wiring cracks with age.

cool i got it !!!!

it was the one that drew said in the other post.

in a 1.3L widetrack the reverse switch is the switch thats on a 45degree angle and closest to the engine, and it plugs into a yellow and red wire on the firewall.....
