Backup Lights NW on 1997 Subaru Impreza wagon by tuttt

My backup lights are not working. I have concluded that it is the switch since I can make them come one sporadically by wiggling the shifter.
 
Does anyone know where the backup light switch is located on a 1997 Subaru Impreza Wagon with manual transmission?
 
My car has State inspection coming up next month and I don't want to have to pay a mechanic big $$$ to fix it. If I can find it, I can fix it
 
Thanks!!!

I'd suggest taking your car to a car parts store that will read OBD codes and determine precisely what your problem is. Although it sounds to me like a faulting knock sensor (I had similar problems on a 2000 impreza - would have check engine light on some days, off others - car idled/ran rough when it was on). I ended up moving the knock sensor to a different thread about 2 inches away and this solved my problem. You could try running a higher octane fuel too - if your check engine light doesn't come on, then it's most likely a knock sensor issue.

Unfortunately a 94 won't have an OBDII code in it cause it's OBDI. My guess is that it's the cat, but that's only a guess. Bring it to a dealer and have them read the code. It'll cost about $95 but it'll tell you what the code is for.

My guess is a faulty intake manifold gasket.

Interior or exterior?
 
If interior, is it intermittent and loud or is it consistent and muffled?

it is exterior, it kinda makes a noise like a loose exaust pipe would, but i have no problems accelerating and it doesn't get that loud.
