Check the ground for the backup light-I'll bet it shares a ground with the interior lights.When you put it in reverse,it is feeding 12v to one side of the bulb,and instead of going through the bulb to a ground,it is seeking a ground elsewhere(through the interior light).The lights are dim because it has created a series circuit,so the bulbs are running at a lower voltage.

Hi! you need to check doors switch it might be short to ground..

First, you will need to jack up the driver side front wheel.
Then, remove the wheel.
With the wheel off, you can remove the plastic fasteners holding the battery access panel (bottom front section of inner wheel well).
After you remove the cover you can reach in and disconnect the cables, then remove the battery.

Hope this helps!
