While I was playing with my turn signal switch wiring, I noticed that my Column mounted reverse light switch did not have the connector attached. I found it and plugged it in. But the lights did not come on when I put it in reverse. So I found the power wire also hanging under the dash, I jumped it with 12v power, put the column in reverse and VIOLA' the reverse lights came on. Looking underneath the dash I cannot find where this wire plugs into. Its a factory plastic covered female spade connector. I looked on the Light switch for an "accessory" spade to plug this wire into and theres nothing there. And I dont see any nearby loose wires where this plugs into. Does anyone know where it plugs into?

i might be able to use that diagram but when I blow it up it blurs and distorts, Do you have a cleaner copy?
Thanks for posting

The white wire from the back-up, or reverse, light switch connects to the "B" terminal on the windshield wiper switch.

The following excerpt from the wiring diagram shows the connection. "B1" is the white wire.
