Have a trailer connector ? Check where it connects to the harness , and also the bulbs for the BU lights.

Its probably your Reverse Positioning Sensor, its connected to the transmission by a bolt.. drivers side of the transmission - you just unplug the wire, unbolt it - and its like an inch and a half long with a ball bearing on the end. I bet you anything thats what is bad Pop it out and get a replacement at the local parts store for like 7 bucks :-)
