Default Reverse lights stay on in all gears

Hello, need some help

Just bought a 91 F150 XLT Lariat 5.0 Auto, and found no bulbs in the tail lamps for the reverse lights. Put bulbs in and they are on always as long as key is on. Park through drive. Only way to get them to turn off is to turn the truck off. Anyone have a similar issue? Thanks in advance

The circuit for the backup lights is completed by the backup/neutral safety switch on the drivers side of the transmission near the linkage. Could be defective and keep the lights on. Also known as a MLP sensor if you have an E4OD transmission.
