| i would start by putting a volt meter or test light on the switch terminals themselves while someone else puts it in reverse. if that fails do the same test with an ohmmeter to test continuity. if you have continuity when in reverse, but no voltage then the switch is good, but power to the switch is faulted somewhere. |

Unplug the wires from the switch, plug them to each other. The lights should go on.
I had a problem with the connectors on mine, which I found after trying two switches. |

For the switch:you can repair the switch,there are to tiny little points inside that get corroded.You cut with a dremel to open the seam,sand the contacts and then close it back together with jb weld or equivalent
