Default Reverse lights

Need some help with my reverse lights. All of a sudden both lights stop working. I replaced the 1156 bulbs with sylvania bulbs and still no lights. If it is a fuse issue how should I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Back up lights are fed from fuse 7 (10A) but if this had failed you would have lost other electrical systems as well.
It could be a misalligned gear selector or the back up lights switch but unsure of the location of this sorry.
You don't say which year LS you have so I have assumed gen 1/2

Steve, it is built in with the neutral safety switch, and I sure hope it is something else.... $200+ new, but you should be able to get one from a salvage yard... I have not ever heard of one going out, but parts geek and many others sell them, so they must fail...
