When I shift into Reverse, there are no reverse lights but the gear does engage. What is the problem?

A mulimeter is a volt meter that also tests ohms etc?I figured its a stick under the master cylinder area you will see a connector on the transmission shift tower unplug the connector. Then jump the two terminals together then turn your key to the run position are the back up lights on?

When I took off the center console and saw the two gear cables, there was no other connector on the actual gear shifter. The gears are laid out to where the R is far bottom right. I can look under the car at the transmission, I just don't know where to look. I heard something about having a back-up switch that is not engaged.
