He will look a
long time under there. He has a manual. Switch is on the side of the transmission about at the halfway height. I think it's left side but not sure. Easily seen and reached from underneath, unlike the T-case switches. Confirm that wires are red-yellow and black-yellow. Try unplugging the switch, and then bridging the two wires in the plug. If the lights then come on, you have a bad switch. If the fuse blows that way, try disconnecting at each of the rear lights in turn and remove bulbs. If no joy, you are going to have to trace that whole red-yellow wire. I can help with that if necessary.
They do sell cheapo Chinese switches for the manual back-up light so one of those could be the issue. NAPA sells a good Echlin one for a decent price.
Here is the circuit diagram for 2000.
