    OK, I cannot believe this. The left backup bulb was burned out and the right backup light socket was corroded.

    Backup lights are working.

    Follow-Up:

    Found the Start Injector Time Switch Connector. It is actually pretty common.

    Advance Auto: BWD 28423 It is called a "pigtail" http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/b...Term=bwd+28423

    Alternate part numbers: Under Coolant Temperature Sensors at Rock Auto and other sources: Standard Motor Products HP 3860 or S697 (OEM type without quick release).

    I put some silicone sealer into the back of the connector to make it more waterproof.

    Exact same issue.Some contact cleaner, a wire brush and compressed airto blast away the crud.
    The backup light holder was different from the other two in that it was open in the back. I think
    that might let more water vapor in to condense and cause corrosion. Both bulbs were also blown.
    Not sure if that was related to the corrosion. Will just keep an eye on it.
