Hi! I think it would be the neutral safety switch on the transmission.
The switch also acts as a backup light switch when the shifter is in reverse.
I would check for power at the switch for the reverse light circuit.


Hope this helps! If it does, please click on the Accept Answer button. I will greatly appreciate it! :)
