Question reverse switch?

My reverse lights do not come on when i put my truck into reverse. i followed wires and saw no visible damage that looks like it could effect it. My father says there is a reverse switch either in the steering column or on the trans that makes the lights come one...is this true? and if so where would i find it, or if not what is a possible option? and i did check the light bulbs, their good...thanks a bunch guys

it's on the transmission, and if it's an automatic, it's built into the neutral safety switch.

if it's a stick, it's on the gearshift housing
