Default Reverse Lights Don't Light

My reverse lights will not light. I checked the bulbs, fuses etc.[:'(]
I think it might be the reverse switch but I dont even know where it is to begin checking.

I have a 5 speed, 2004, 2-door. I am guessing here but, I thought the switch may be in the middle console by the shifter.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It is located on the driver side of the transmission case. It will have a two pronged electrical connection. The wire colors for a 2000 Blazer are pink and gray.

Again, for a 2000, there are two fuses that affect the Backup lamp operation. B/U LP feeds +12V to the backup lamp switch in the transmission (or the park/neutral/backup switch in the case of an automatic). From there, it feeds to two other fuses. VEH B/U is the fuse that then powers the backup lamps in the taillight housings. TRL B/U powers the trailer backup lights if so equipped.

I list what it is for a 2000 because that is the only reference material I have with me at the moment...
