May be wiring but I think there is a switch on the shifter that could cause the problem.

For AT cars, the back up lamp switch is part of the neutral safety switch on the shifter under the console.

For 4 speed cars, the back up lamp switch mounts on the tranny under the car.

The AIM will show both.
