Thank you for your help

Answer
On the backup light fault is either the steering column mounted Park/Neutral position and backup lamp switch assembly (PNP). Or a faulty ground in the trunk on the drivers side inside fender area wire.

Fault of dash could be:

Faulty dash cluster components.

faulty battery inputs.

Faulty ground circuits.
