It could be either a faulty switch or a faulty connector. Get a hold of a multi meter and check the prongs. Place the car in reverse gear with the ignition on, then check the terminals that connect to the reverse bulb, If theres power there then the switch is fine and it's more likely the multi connector or the bulb.
