Check the relay or the switch on the transmission. There are probably more scientific places to check but if you start small there's a high chance that it's a cheap component.

Change the inhibitor switch on the transmission.
Like most auto's, this controls reverse lamps as well as the neutral/park start.

With the ignition on, check you are getting power at the switch
