Third Gen Reverse Lights / Hazards Question

Hey,
When i bought my iroc the reverse lights did not work and also the hazards did not work. I was wondering how to hook up reverse lights without running them to a switch that i would have to flip manually to back my car up. Also im not quite sure how to hook up the hazard lights either. Any info on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Jon

Have you checked the bulbs, sockets, and wiring harness to make sure there are no issues with them?

On auto cars the reverse light switch is atached to the shifter assembly as well as the neutral safety switch, on a manual car I think the switch is on the side of the case of the trans.

Do the directional blinkers work? There is two blinker modules one for the hazards and one for the directionals.

What do you have a manual or auto?

If the directionals work then it may be the blinker module for the hazards or a problem with the hazard switch on the column.
