    So I've got a 98 tacoma 2.4l 2wd base model with auto transmission. My reverse lights stopped working so I checked all fuses and bulbs. I'm not getting power to the reverse wires when I shift to reverse. Where in the world is the reverse light switch? It's not on trans and I can't see it anywhere on the column (I removed all plastics). I've searched this forum and the internet for a week and can't find info.
