The wiring at the bumper end sounds about right, but that wire from the coil 
should go forward to the front of the MT where it is switched to go back to 
both backup lights.  

If one light is working, you need only concern yourself with why the other one 
doesn't. Likely possiblities are poor contacts to the bulb or lack of a good 
ground connection, either at the bulb or between the housing and the 
bumper.  

The best way to test for this kind of thing is to use a voltmeter and follow the 
power trail. Your one functioning light proves that the power trail is fine up to   
that point.
