2005 RAM crew cab, 5.9, tow package; back-up lights do not come on. Back-up switch is on top of Tranny and difficult to get to. Is there anything else I can look for, before going that direction? Is there a fuse just for the back-up lights, everything else seems to work?

As yours is a 3rd gen and this is the 2nd gen forum, we can't be much help. I had a similar issue with my 1st gen. Turned out to be the switch. Troubleshooting was easier due to accessibility of the wiring harness. If you can locate the main connector that goes to the back, you can jumper the wires to see if the lights will come on and also check the function of the switch. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I don't know about 3rd gen trucks, but the 2nd gen trucks had terrible back-up lights.
Here iis what I did:

First solution, but they got knocked off regularly.



2nd solution--worked great!
