Check the relay or the switch on the transmission. There are probably more scientific places to check but if you start small there's a high chance that it's a cheap component.

Change the inhibitor switch on the transmission.
Like most auto's, this controls reverse lamps as well as the neutral/park start.

With the ignition on, check you are getting power at the switch

Leave in park.
Turn key to "on" Climb under car and make sure there is power at switch.

Also there is power at the fuse that is in the fuse box on the right hand lower side of the steering wheel.
