I need to fix an '86 Corolla. I cannot find the backup light switch in Chiltons.The book gives a clue that the neutral switch and backup light switch are one unit. The techs at the shop won't tell me where it is, but they'll sell me one for $280. I went through an old Corolla at the junkyard and couldn't find the backup light switch in the car or on the outside of the transmission. Can anybody tell me if the switch is inside the tranny (automatic FWD)?

The light bulbs are good and all the fuses are good.
 
The reverse light or back-up light switch is mounted in the top area of the manual transaxle housing. Its removal and replacement is easily accomplished by disengaging the wiring connector from the switch and unscrewing the switch from the case (always replace the mounting gasket below it). A specially sized socket or an equivalent removal tool may be necessary for this service operation. Install the new switch and tighten it 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm). Reinstall the electrical connector. Turn key to the ON position, depress clutch pedal and place shifter in REVERSE position. Check operation
