Thats a wierd one... The only time I came across this was a poorly rewired back-end where scotch-locks were in abundance and the reverse lights were jumped into the door sensor/security line !!

Does it have a Tow-Bar? If yes then some clown wired it wrong :(

Just have a real good look at the looms ;)

IMHO the only reason a live would be required after keys-out situation is the Alarm/Security arming itself !! Or even with some cars where the lights stay on to show you home lol
