Reverse Lights not working

[Curious Hound]

hey, i am wondering if you have found out your issue, i have the exact same issue.

My Reverse lights just stopped working one day, i inspected all fuses and they were good, especially Fuse 20, i have already replaced the DTR if that was the issue but it did not solve it and it Starts like it should in Park and Neutral and no other gears ?.

i have an 2008 ford Ranger Fx4 4L V6.



Let me Further Explain my Issue ......
my ABS & Brake light would turn on randomly and i noticed that fuse #20 was blowing so i replaced it and it would randomly blow again, it doesn't do it all the time and the lights would go away once i replaced the fuse but would blow the fuse random again.

since this is the same fuse for my Turn Signals, i put in a Auto Resetting Fuse that Resets after being popped until i was able to track down the Issue since i was running low on fuses.

after i did this i didn't see those lights on my dash again, i assume it wasn't even Popping the fuse since i couldn't see the lights for 30 seconds at least, so i assume Problem Solved ?

Well, One Day my Backup camera wouldn't turn and, so i checked the fuse OFC it was still OK but my Reverses light Now do not work Anymore.

Before this i had an assumption my ABS Sensors or Module was going out.

so i First Tried to Replace the DTRS Since the ABS is Still Working with that Fuse, Replaced it and Nothing.

The Only Other Components i think that might be causing it are the Transmission OSS, Rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, ABS Module, Shift Interlock Solenoid (Still Works), Transmission column OD Switch (Still Works), Speed Control Module or Cruise control module (Self Diag Confirmed it Works) and The Turn Signal / Flasher (Still Works).

I Plan on Replacing the transmission OSS, Rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensor and the Shift Interlock Next.

After that, i am Stumped.

Let’s try to confine this to the thread you started for your problem. That way all your info will be in one place. Answering the same questions in several different places gets confusing for everyone involved.
