Hi Heather. Thanks for contacting us today. There are a few possible reasons that your reverse light is always on, ranging from a damaged electrical relay to an open fuse. It’s also possible that the neutral safety switch is damaged. Since there are multiple possible sources for this problem, it’s best to have a professional mechanic to first complete an on-site inspection to determine what repairs are needed to fix this problem.
