Maybe the chasis is on backwards or the "reverse" gear is in the wrong location. Just kidding, I have no clue. Let Ford figure it out.

I have no idea why your car would be doing that?? This is a new one for me.

Is your passengers side carpet wet?
Is there any sign of water intrusion?
Sounds like your SJB is on its way out.

Disconnect your reverse light switch and see if they remain on.
The reverse switch wire (white/violet) could be being grounded.
Maybe the headers or exhaust got too close to the reverse switch
wiring and burned thru?
