Default Reverse lights stay on

As in the title. Key out door locked and still reverse lights stay on.
I recently had the fuel pump replaced and noticed two things that don't look right. One is a plug and the other is a small hose. I'm assuming a vacuum linr

This is the plug

This is the hose

The plug in the top photo is normal. Just tuck it down behind the battery.

The second photo is a breather hose for your battery. It should be plugged in.

It plugs in the top of your battery under the hold down bar.

And no need to post a question about the single wire for the TRANSIT RELAY. (it doesn't connect to ANYTHING)

Which year is your X308

this pic may cover your year

The SLCM is located above the fuel tank and the connectors may have been disturbed

Remove battery positive post and fully remove and reseat the SLCM connectors

The inputs to the SLCM in the pic's left may have been effected
