Hi there,

Check the continuity through the reverse light switch on the transmission. The switch is on the lower R/H/S of the transmission. Here is the switch location and a guide to help test the switch:

Thanks. I had a volt meter but didn't know how to use it so the guide helped me figure out the switch was bad. I got a new one from AutoZone the lights work once again.
