Will suggest the following continuity (electrical) test:
With the ignition switch "on" but not started (amp light wil be on and the engine off), move the transmission stick to "reverse", you will be able to ear a "click" from the relay (open the engine bay and the window's driver).
If you hear the "click" then the trouble is in the cable from relay to reverse lights (or in the reverse lights connectors, more usually).
If you dont hear the click, then the trouble is on the relay or on the transmission internal "switch". Then, check with tester the relay (or if you have another relay, exchange it for test purpouses). If relay is ok, then the switch in the transmission goes south (damaged) or its cable has loosen . If was a damaged switch, some people here (Lima, Peru) set a manual switch on that case (or probably you can fish another transmission switch from some junkyard and replace the original one - no junkyards here).
