Ok, not sure what solenoid you checked since there is no solenoid for reverse. Reverse is completely hydraulically and gear controlled inside the [transmission](/topics-transmission-chrysler/). Absolutely no electronics involved.
The transmission will need to come out and partially torn down to inspect the reverse direct [clutches](/topics-clutch-chrysler/), sun shell, reverse servo, band, accumulator, and other components of reverse gear to see what has failed and then repaired as needed based upon inspection findings.
Thanks for using Just Answer and letting me help you. I hope I provided what you needed. If you find more help is still needed, let me know by listing out any remaining questions you have on this concern. I hope the remainder of your day is well.
