My Jetta did this. It was the reverse light switch on the tranny.

Greetings Volks!

My reverse lights, on my beloved 87 Westy stay lit ALL the time.  The only
way to turn them off is to pull the reverse light fuse. (Fuse # 15) Or
remove the ignition key.

Has anyone out there had this problem?

If so, please let me know what I can do to fix it. I will be calling the
exorcist in the next few days.

PS: I changed my engine belts this weekend, and I will submit a full step by
step list for those who are interested.

Thanks friends!
