Reverse Lights (not working) ??????
I have a 2004 screw, the fuses are all good, the bulbs are brand new (just installed today), and still no reverse lights. 
What else could this be? Any help would be appreciated.

Standard lights. I checked the fuse in the passenger side floor board for the reverse lights and it was good. While in the fuse box, i checked all others (whether they pertained to the problem or not) and none are blown.

If it the reverse fuse #14 is good, next would be to check for voltage at the connector.
Chock the wheels, set the parking brake, turn the key fro off to run ( do not start ) and place in reverse.
Check the socket for both power and ground ( might need to use another ground to verify ).
If not, it could be the DTR ( Digital Transmission Range ) sensor connector on the side of the trans that is corroded, causing the problem.
Start with the tail lamps, then next to the DTR.

Sorry, that would have been useful info to include in the last post ( 2 new lab puppies, running like mad getting them house trained ).
driver's side of the trans, towards the front. It is the sensor towards the trans pan, the one above it is the Turbine Shaft Speed ( TSS ) sensor.
It is a black 12 pin connector ( 2 rows of 6 ), kind of oval shaped.
The Dark Green w/ yellow stripe is the color of the reverse circuit from the DTR to the trailer tow reversing lamps, reverse lamps, Parking aid module ( if installed ) and the Eletrochromatic mirror ( if installed ).
This is an automatic, correct ? Should have asked at the onset, instead I made an assumption.

yes, it is an automatic. I found the DTR, just need to check if power is getting to the #11 pin on the plug. Hopefully this will solve my problem.
If it is the DTR, do you know how hard it is to change ?

Not hard at all, other members made it sound like it was 2 or 4 bolts holding it on ?.
I thought they were single bolt through the center of the connector on it, must be thinking of something else.
