I have no power going to the reverse lights. I can't find a fuse for them either. I have a 94 zj. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks.

Do they come on if you jiggle the shifter around? Probably bad/dirty NSS (neutral safety switch).

If the connectors in the neutral safety switch are gunked up you wont get anything.
There are a dozen little copper electrodes in the NSS that pass current to the lights and the starter relay.

Provided you have the auto AW-4 it just needs to be removed and cleaned.
Way easy and there are tons of write ups on the forum.

A ZJ wouldn't have a AW4, probably a Chrysler 42RE.
