90 Blazer reverse lights

Folks, I have a question. I have a 1990 Blazer, full size, and I just put on a new neutral safety switch on the column. Now, I don't have back-up lights. I did it all by feel and the only info I can find is that the back-up lights are part of the switch. I'm wondering if I pulled a wire loose and I just can't see it. The switch has two plugs on it; I'm assuming one is for 'park' and the other is for 'neutral'-to let it start. The new switch has an extra, single terminal that the old one didn't have--took it back to CARQUEST to have it double checked and they said it's a direct replacement. Couldn't explain why the original didn't have that contact tang.

Blue wire is "power" for backup lights. Got power there? Light green wire is "backup lights", obviously should have power when in reverse, probably have to have key "on".

Thank you. Having the color wires is great; I was hoping someone else had dealt with this. Haven't looked at it yet; too cold.
