Reverse lights are out - fuse looks ok.

Both my reverse lights are out and I've I checked the bulbs and the fuse - both looked fine. Anyone have any other ideas of what could be the problem?
Much thx.

Is there a relay under the hood for the reverse lights? A bad relay seems unlikely though, but you could give it a shot.

This was a TSB for 2004 Owners (unsure if it pertains to 05's) -

Description of Recall Campaign: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER CARS, THE WIRE HARNESS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK HINGE AREA IS NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECTED AND OVER TIME COULD BE DAMAGED WHEN THE TRUNK IS OPENED AND CLOSED.
A DAMAGED HARNESS CAN CAUSE A BLOWN FUSE, A SHORT CIRCUIT AND IT CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS, BACKUP LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHT FUNCTION. LOSS OF A TAIL LIGHT COULD REDUCE VISIBILITY AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE HARNESS AND IF ANY DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE HARNESS WILL BE REPLACED. IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND, DEALERS WILL INSTALL CORRUGATED PLASTIC TUBING OVER THE HARNESS TO PREVENT FUTURE DAMAGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN OCTOBER 1, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 18009991009.

Thanks. I'll check the relays. It's prob the harness though. Stealer says it only covers 2004's. Going to phone Acura customer service ...

This happened to me in my old Neon and it turned out to be the switch in the shifter. Seems to have been a common problem in the Neon.

Any luck with this? I also have the same problem. I'm not getting any voltage out to the lights when I check with Voltmeter. I think I all ready have the harness installed that is described in the recall. My fuses all check out ok.
