Hello,

It sounds like the position switch on the transmission has gone out but to confirm we should do should testing. Here is a guide and a wiring diagram (below) please check for power at the switch and then going to the lights.

Please run some tests and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Cheers, Ken
