There are a couple for this because of the way the system works. The reverse light switch grounds the circuit into the TIPM (smart fuse block) which uses an internal relay to turn on the reverse lights.
To test which side of the system the problem is on requires you to access the connectors on the TIPM Specifically pin 8 in connector 5 and pin 11 in connector 8. With those two pins you can test if the problem is in the switch side, the TIPM itself or in the light side of the system. All you need is a simple fused jumper wire a test light and turning on the key.
If you apply a ground to pin 8 in C5 and the lights come on the problem is in the switch or its wiring. Then you go to the switch and apply ground to pin B on it. If the lights come on there the wiring from the switch to the TIPM is good. Apply ground to pin A and shift into reverse. If the lights come on now the issue is in the ground path from the switch to chassis. If they do not come on the issue is the switch itself.
On the power/light side you shift into reverse and check that there is power at pin 11 in C8. If there is power there but the lights are not on you connect the fused jumper wire to power and test your way down to the back up lights.
