Back up light switch is bad or out of adjustment. Located somewhere on the shift mechanism. The back-up light switch seems to be located on the transaxle, just below the master cylinder. I haven't figured out how to adjust it.
Check the backup light switch.
check the ground for the lights
Check bulbs and switch
its on different bulbs
I would check the wires just behind the light. I had the same problem and the wires were broken a little just wiggle them as the lights are on.

The backup lights are a different bulb, then the turn signals and brake lights and The Number 1 reason would be that the bulbs are burned out and need replaced. Good Luck and Remember.Change Your Mind, Not Your Oil.Use the First In Synthetic Motor Oil's.See My Bio For Information & Contact Details.
There are a couple of reasons why a 2005 Saturn Ion's reverse lights will not work. The fuses may be blown or the light bulbs need to be replaced. Fuses and bulbs can be purchased at any auto parts store.
Try checking the neutral safety switch. This switch is the one in automatic transmissions that makes the backup lights "flip" on when going from park to drive as you go through the gears. When my neutral safety switch shorted my backup lights stayed on constantly.
Did you recently change or install something in your car like a stereo or GPS?
on some cars the tail lights and brake lights are totally different bulbs gain access to the bulbs and have someone push the brakes so that you can determine which bulbs are the brake lights and replace the tail lights
Different makes use different bulbs, need to know what vehicle you have.
