Default Reverse lights out...fusebox relay diagram?

2003 Accord EX, 4 door, 4 cyl, 5 spd manual

My reverse lights are out, I have checked the bulbs, fuses, switch, and hood relays. I read about a relay above the cabin fusebox (which I have opened) but I cant find a diagram to determine:
A) if there really is a reverse relay there, or
B) which relay it is.
Any help/suggestions? My Haynes manual doesn't have a diagram, and I really am hoping I don't have to trace the wires all the way to the rear! Inspection is way overdue

I doubt there is a relay for a low current bulb.

Use a volt meter on the reverse light socket. Touch one lead to the non-black pin on the connector and other lead to ground (any bare metal bolt).

That wire should have 12V when the key is in the II position and the car is in reverse (do this with the car not running obviously).
