Back up light switch

My back up lights are not working,so before I go get it inspected I need to fix it.I have ruled out a cut wire along the frame.But I did find the wire cut under the dash.And the matching wire is (hot)in all gears so that would mean either my swith is stuck or it isnt even connected.It carries the current to the lights when connected to the matching wire.So my question is why is it costantly hot.Where is the reverse light switch anyway.
