Yes, you should check not only the wiring harness connection to the transmission, but also the back up light wires running the length of the vehicle. First, check your fuse box for burnt out fuses. Then check for cracked wires, wires with stripped insulation, (they might be grounding themselves on a metal surface) loose wire connections, dirt/oil/moisture or water in wire plug connectors. Sometimes the problem is just a very simple one.
