Where is the Back up light switch on 98 jeep Cherokee classic?

The backup light switch on a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic isn't a separate switch you'll find easily accessible like a light switch on a wall. It's integrated into the transmission itself. It's a mechanical switch that activates when the transmission is shifted into reverse.

Therefore, there's no readily accessible "backup light switch" to replace or troubleshoot independently. If your backup lights aren't working, the problem is more likely to be one of the following:

* The switch itself (within the transmission): This is the most common culprit and often requires transmission removal or at least partial disassembly to replace.

* Wiring: Check the wiring harness leading from the transmission to the lights for breaks or loose connections.

* Bulbs: The simplest check is to ensure the backup light bulbs themselves are not burnt out.

* Fuses: Check your owner's manual for the fuse related to the backup lights and verify it's not blown.

If your backup lights are not working, you'll likely need a mechanic or to consult a repair manual for proper diagnosis and repair. Attempting to access the switch within the transmission without experience is not recommended.
