69 Reverse Indicator Light - Dash - Removal / Troubleshooting

[WINGIN IT]

How do you remove the 'Reverse' Indicator light attached to the dash?
Trying to figure out if it's bulb that is out or no power to the wire.

From feel it seems there is 1 wire ( Black with white tracer) coming from housing that goes to bulk head connector ( lower left hand corner when looking toward front of car) .
On engine side of bulk head that slot is blank ( no wire or connector ) .

So not sure what or how to check for power to bulb.
Already had it in reverse ( lights light up at rear of car)  but no indicator light. 

Looking at electrical diagram just confused me more.
I have a new reverse light harness as well, but it's not clear to me how to hook it up at the bulkhead.

Appreciate any insights.

Without looking at diagrams, I seem to remember the reverse light wiring going into the very top of the bulkhead connector, on the wiper plug?
The bulb socket on the reverse light should just pull out of the tube and you can test for power and change the bulb if needed.

Edit: I have a 69 service manual so I will take a look at the wiring diagram to verify where stuff goes.

Its a black wire with white tracer to rev light

Thanks for confirming it is the black wire with white tracer.
And will try just to remove bulb from housing from behind, and see if I can get it out without breaking anything.

When you say at the top of the connector on the bulkhead on the wiper plug, do you mean from inside the engine compartment?

Yes, from inside the engine compartment. The factory diagram shows the reverse light wires going to the top of the wiper plug, but it also says 4 speed console wiring and shows the black with tracer going to the very bottom plug as you described in your original post. At any rate, it should have power at the same time as the backup lights so it should be pretty easy to test. Good luck

Thanks, let you know how I make out...
