That's a possibility. However did you check for any blown fuses?

If you have a bad reverse switch in the trans. it will blow a fuse just about every time that you shift to reverse. When that happens, you not only will not have stop lights. You will not have turn signal lights and if you have automatic head lights ( You know those that go on a dusk and off at dawn) they will not work either because the fore noted items are all on the same fuse. The reverse switch in the trans. is easy change. I had to change the one in my M-6 last month.

Back-up light sensor. It's on the right side of the transmission. You should be able to pick one up at your local auto parts store- I got mine at Advance Auto Parts.
