Default Reverse/Back up lights Always on

Hey guys. I usually only drive my car if I'm going far or if it's raining. Otherwise I drive my bike.

Anyway, the other day I took it out in the rain and for some reason, my back up lights came on and stayed on the whole way home. I didn't notice until I got home.

I went pretty far today so I used my car and noticed that my back up lights were on the whole time, again. I had to remove the rear light bulbs to turn them off.

The sockets are dry and I don't see any signs of water leaking in to the tail lights.

Anyone know what it could be?

The reverse light switch is connected to the transmission. You can check to see if it got wet or if its broken. It is the only electrical wiring on it.

Also, the switch could be stuck on. This has happened to me before.

Thanks guys. I was looking for the switch but couldn't find it. Is it on top of the tranny or on the bottom?

Top, with 2 wires that plug into your harness near the O2 sensor plug and below the distributor.
