Next Problem, Back Up Lights No Power, where's the Switch?

I have several problems and I think I will post them seperatly so that if someone does a search they can better find information that pertains to their problem. I hate it when I do a search and something it looks like a good thread but turns out to be bologna!

Anyhow, T5 tranny. All fuses are good. Other rear lights work (turn and brake).

I checked the bulbs, they are fine. Check for power, zippo, natha, nadda, none.

Where is the switch? The switch just provides ground though right? If so, where is my source of power supposed to come from?

The back-up lamp switch is on the trans. There are two sensors on the trans, one is the VSS and the other is the back-up lamp switch. Sorry, I do not know which is which.

I have a cable drive speedo, so I don't think I have a VSS. Should be easier to find.
