Backup light switch

Hi I have to replace the backup light switch, but i dont't know where it is. The car is a 98.mod S70. Is it the same place as the 850? Found this previous post.

It is in the same place. The post you refer to is talking about a manual transmission. The one for automatic is roughly in the same place, part of the gear selector position switch.
