You would have to trace the wiring, or see if the Haynes manual had a diagram. The switch may not go directly to the light, the BCM (electronic module in the interior fuse box) is usually involved. Other equipment (park sensors, trailer box) get the reverse status from the BCM over the CAN bus.

Sometimes there is also a relay in the circuit. (Transmission type dependant)

I have seen all this on the Focus wiring diagrams, but do not have Mondeo diagrams to confirm the details.
