Dind ding ding, we have a winner! It is the front switch and it is common for the wires to break inside the rubber boot.

Use a multimeter and measure continuity between the 2 wires. When not in reverse, there should be no continuity. When in reverse, there should be continuity.

If no continuity exists in reverse, the wires are broken, the switch is broken, or you have the wrong switch.

This is all you need to know. Too much hand holding. There are only a few switches on the gearbox.
