1962 Valiant pushbutton auto, has factory reverse lights, fuse/wiring is good, has power to the switch, can jump it to the other side and reverse lights will come on.

Switch is in pic under pushbutton assembly, white wires are soldered to it.

Checked for a back-up switch, none listed. Are these unavailable?

Is there a solution other than installing a manual toggle switch?

Also, anyone have a part# for the horn relay?

The only thing I know of is "rig" some sort of microswitch, etc, to the linkage. NO, LOL I have no idea how. Last time I saw a push button shifter was out of my 64 426 Dodge, in about 1972
 
Fixed.
Removed switch, there is a tiny spring that wasn't throwing the mechanism all the way, adjusted and cleaned it up.
One light worked, remembered I was smart and ran a ground wire from my ground hub by the battery to the rear for just this issue, rusty metal and they are grounded to the body by the 2 mounting screws.
Grounded housings, both work and bright as heck.
