Default Reverse lights stopped working

I started my 96 Cherokee country and the reversed lights worked fine the next time I started it, both reverse lights stopped working and the right turn signal stopped as well.

Same here. I have to move the gear lever back and forth a bunch and then wiggle it in the reverse position and then they might go on. I researched the problem and found out that it could be that the neutral safety switch needs cleaning. BleepinJeep on YouTube does a full tutorial on that. But it doesn't apply to me because i just found out that my dad did a nss bypass and so I'm stumped on what to do now.

Oops. I was thinking the relays inside the engine compartment by accident. I checked all the fuses there but I'll check again
