It could be arced over/pitted contacts on the reverse relay located inside the neutral safety switch.
The reverse relay gets activated every time the car is running (when you shift into or out of park).
The contacts wear and eventually lead to failure of the # 14 fuse.
To test, simply remove the backup up bulbs and see if cures the issue.
If that cures the issue then replace the neutral safety switch, or continue driving without backup lights..
