Short in Backup switch or wiring

I noticed today I had a draw on Gauge today when I put the trany in reverse and only reverse.
I crawled under and made sure it was fully connected drivers side top of tranny .. yep it was. jumped back in and still a draw when I put it in reverse
so I unplugged it and draw is gone. So where do I start? the switch ?I have never had a getrag before so I have no idea about were the switch or actuator is on the tranny besides the plug on the side of the tranny . Is it on the passenger side top ? Is there some switch up on the shifter ? thank you
thank you

The switch is what the harness is plugged into. Do you have some big lights wired into the reverse switch?
