Here's the procedure from the Haynes manual:
1) Disconnect the battery cables, yadda yadda...
2) Unplug the wiring harness from the reversing light switch at the connector. The switch is located on the rear of the transmission casing.
3) Connect the probes of a continuity tester, or a multi-meter set to the resistance function, across the terminals of the reversing light switch.
4) The switch contacts are normally open, so with any gear OTHER than reverse selected, the tester/meter should indicate an open-circuit. When reverse gear is then selected, the switch contacts should close, causing the tester/meter to indicate a short circuit. (which is correct behavior)
5) If the switch appears to be constantly open or is intermittant in its operation it should be replaced.
And they go on to explain how to remove and replace it (obvious). The torque wrench setting is 16 lb/ft which isn't all that tight (don't grunt it in there!)
