Try doing a search on the forum. I had the same problem on my 02 996. I checked all the bulbs and connectors and it seemed ok. There's some kind of switch under the car near the transmission. Many people replace it. I went under the car and moved the switch a little bit and it started working again.

Hope this helps.

if its a manual trans the reverse switch is on the rear of the trans and has a 2 wire connector coming off of it. probably just a reverse switch gone foul
