Wellp, I got my reverse lights to work, but I didn't bother trying to figure out where the short was for the reverse light digging through the wiring harness,

I ran a wire from the reverse lamps in the rear of the car under the carpet and towards my shifter, I then removed my stereo and spliced and opened the constant yellow wire and soldered another wire on there, then I got a pen and poked a hole through the rubber shift boot and ran both wires through the little hole. I unplugged the plug on the lower harness connecting to the reverse switch and connected the two wires directly to the reverse switch itself with connectors. constant 12v and wires from the reverse light to complete the circuit directly. Reverse lights work now, badabingbadaboom.
