It sounds like the switch is bad which is common (gear range sensor). Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

We need to find the back-up light switch. To replace it can you tell us where it is?

Hello,

The reverse switch is down on the transmission. Here is a guide to show you what you will be in for when doing the job:
