Battery Drain Troubleshooting Question

My 94 Civic battery was going dead after a few days parked. I was reading about .4 amp drain with everything off and ignition key removed. The logical thing was disconnecting all the alternator connections - still had the drain. Started pulling fuses and drain went to zero when I pulled the fuse for the back-up lights. Where is the back-up light switch and how hard is it to get to? Also, is there anything else on that circuit? It's obviously not a dead short but a resistive leak somewhere in that fuse circuit. I don't have a schematic. Thanks, Bearbon
