That was edited for "more info"? Still not enough. Do you have no backup lights? Is it a manual or automatic? What do you mean by checked or changed, what have you checked and changed? If you're working on b/u lights, do they flash when you lock the car? And also, if you put the problem in the title, you'll not only attract people with knowledge on the issue you're working on, you'll be able to search later as will others looking for the same help. There are hundreds of threads with the title "help", or "need help" or similar. Take some time and help us help you by describing the issue.

I'm sorry when I was going give more info I was summoned by the queen (my wife) and didn't get a chance to finish so I will start from the beginning my car is a stick a few months ago my reverse lights and camera stopped working the first thing I checked was the bulbs saw nothing out of the ordinary and when I locked the car they flashed so next I checked the fuse and it was good so I came here for help and someone suggested the reverse switch on the tranny today it got changed and the lights still don't work is there a relay that I'm missing?

Did you check the fuse again after you changed the b/u switch? Maybe it blew. You can eliminate the b/u switch by unplugging the connector and jumping across the two wires in the wiring side of the connector with the key on. They should come on. If not, measure for 12v on one side of that same connector with the key on. If you don't have it, go back toward the fuse box, if you do, go toward the rear. If they flash when you lock, the problem should be in that b/u switch line or fuse. I'd check that fuse very carefully, it usually blows when the b/u switch shorts.
