The two green wires (light and dark) are for the reverse light switch and appears to be connected. The others, would be for the neutral or park safety switch to allow the vehicle to start only in either one of those positions. One terminal is left vacant by design. The switch may be bad. Checked the bulbs at the rear? Fuses? If those check out, you can disconnect the two green wires and jump them together with the ignition on the reverse lights should illuminate. If not, all points lead to a bad switch. Very common. There is a plastic tab that is notorious for breaking especially with age.
