Problem with a dodge

I hope you guys don't care if I ask a question about a dodge on here. My brother just got a 87 dodge ram 4x4 automatic with a 318 v8. The problem is that when the gear selector is in any position except park the reverse lights come on. I have no clue what could cause this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is that on the side of the tranny, or is that something else I am thinking of?

That year Dodge has a A727 Trans. The NSS screws in the left side of the Trans, right behind the shift lever.
