Exclamation 2008 dodge ram no reverse lights?? HELP!

Need some help here. From reading some things online seems these trucks have no reverse light fuse?? checked manual and box under hood and cannot locate one. I don't believe these have any fuse panels inside the truck. Any help here. Lights where on and they just went out. Could I have a bad ground? I hope this will be an easy fix or at least not too hard to figure out. I need to get these working as I use the truck for plowing and cannot function without them.

Neutral safety switch. If you have a manual trans its called a backup light switch. I just had to do mine on my 5 speed took 5 mins was right on the bottom of trans. Never did one on a automatic i cant imagine it would be that much harder. I got mine from autozone for like 16 bucks.

what does this do? You had same issue with lights? I read that if this was bad truck wouldn't start or shift from park? I don't have those issues.
