Hi,

Check the reverse light relay, here is the location and the reverse lights wiring diagrams so you can see how it works.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-check-an-electrical-relay-and-wiring-control-circuit

Check the circuits at the transmission range sensor. For the back-up lights. Voltage to the sensor, lite blue wire with pink tracer. In reverse, black wire with pink tracer carries voltage to back-up lamps. There is also a ground for the back-up lamps, you may need to check that also.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
