Back up lights stay on in all gears

Hey there! I recently bought a 1999 Honda Civic CK, and have a problem concerning back up lights. The back up lights stay on anytime the car is on, no matter what gear it is in. I assume this must have been a problem for the previous owner as well because the back up lights were disconnected at the light, and the back up switch was also disconnected from power. I plugged everything back in and the lights stay on. A the moment I am going to try to get a multimeter to test if the switch is getting power, and then unscrew it as well to hopefully see if the arm is moving correctly. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
