Pont. Sunfire Backup lights

[mrcis]

My 98 Sunfire's backup lights wont work...fuse ok, bulbs ok, no apparent loose connections. Man at auto parts store says it's the neutral safety switch. True? Has anyone done this before?

It maybe a bad switch in the tranny. when you put it in reverse it turns the switch on so the lights come on. I had broken wires in the trunk that had to be fix so my brake lights and backup lights would work. Sunfires are known for cheap wiring.
