Dave,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. As you suggested, I metered out
the green wires and found the one that was producing 12 volts. When I
connected it to the one of the wires in the harness connected to the trans
back up lights, THEY WORKED!

The two remaining issuers are: no turn signals, period. Hazards only flash
on he driver=E2=80=99s side. (Earlier I stated that I only had turn signals=
 on the
drivers side, but I was mistaken). A new turn signal module and hazard
module should arrive this weekend. Please share any other thoughts as to
the cause(s) of these issues.

Thanks again for your help.

Bob Fabie
