Just had the transmission replaced.Back up lights and driver and passenger brake lights are not working now.Taillights and center brake light are working, all the fuses and bulbs are fine.Could this be a loose ground wire somewhere or maybe a relay?

Thanks for the donation. White wire with tan tracer is voltage for brake lites, black wire is ground, check them. There is a splice for brake circuit, wiring diagram, check voltage at splice. If you can't find it any other way, backtrack the white wire with tan tracer.
