Default Rear backup lights Stay on 24/7? please help :)

On my 90 civic Dx recently i noticed the white backup lights are on all the time?

Things I've checked:

-Main fusebox/ Under hood fusebox
-No Code / Check engine light




Any help would be greatly appreciated,Could it be the daytime running light relay?

Thanks,Matt

if anyone stumbles upon this thread looking for related answers, if your brake lights are on the first thing to check is the brake pedal. put your foot under it and pull it towards you.

try checking the back-up light switch located somewhere near your tranny (its the only wire plugged into the transmission as far as i can tell) i had a similar problem where my back-up lights would get stuck whenever i popped it into reverse. if that's not it then maybe your wires are crossed somewhere giving the lights constant power leaving them on continuously
