Any work done to the car? i.e. Auto to manual swap?

Is it auto or manual?

check the harness going to the reverse lights in the trunk

connectors sometime build up corrosion and cause them to stop working

I have the same problem with my CRX. I put bulbs in there and they're always on. I'm thinking it's the reverse switch?
