Best thing to do is to return the wiring back to stock when you get a new car (when someone has been playing with it)

Disconnect all the wiring that isnt stock as it should be pretty easy to notice what is stock and what isnt.

I wouldn't just cut it all out at once. Make sure you know where it goes then do one wire at a time so you don't miss any or mess up. They reverse switch might be bad on the tranny and that is why they added the switch. A lot of people do that when the switch is $10-$20 for the 5 speed and takes about 5 mins to replace.

Best way to test the reverse switch is to unplug the connector and take a wire and make a jumper. If the reverse lights work then just replace the switch.

But first get rid of the random added switch.
