no reverse lights, all bulbs are new. Fuse is good. Im guessing there is a switch somewhere for these?

You probably should check the tail light circuit boards (what the bulbs click into). See if they're getting power, especially the plug in the back of them.

thank you! You were right, housings are a corroded mess. Got 1 housing working but the metal that contacts the bulb in the other housing reverse light socket is completely gone. 😳 Gonna order new housings
