I recommend changing the reverse indicator switch on the trans and also the circuit boards that the bulbs plug into (they are cheap).

Check your ground wire back there, but more than likely, none of your rear lites would work if it was loose. If it's a separate ground, or it's connected to trailer lites it could be bad.
