The bulb?
Sometimes they look intact, but are open circuit.

I had the same issue, what it could be is your referse switch has gone, a common thing.
You know this by: turning your window wipers on (not rain sensitive mode) and putting your car in referse. If your rear window wiper does NOT turn on, it's your switch. If it does its something else.
If the switch has gone fault, it located behind the left weal in the gear box (YouTube what it is and where it is) this can be pulled out with a spanner but gear box fluid will flush out too, so make sure you have some at hand to top it up. Remove the old switch, replace with a new one and plug it in. Hey presto it should work.
