More likely the switch. Try wiggling the contacts whilst in reverse (obviously with engine off :D ). Happened on mine a while back. Cleaned off all contacts znd started working again

Assuming you have 4 speed, as mine, switch is on left side of gearbox forward of the clutch slave cyljnder (forward being front of bus). I am tall so could reach from engine bay. Probably easier to get to if you jack and prop the rear and remove the left rear wheel.
