reverse lights not working

reverse lights not working (Problem Solved)

tail lights both work as do the brake lights, but no reverse lights at all, is there a fuse or something i should check? isnt there a sensor in the ******, possibly? any ideas on how to fix this would be great...

Check the fuses. Not sure if the NSS (neutral safety switch) is tied in with the reverse lights like it is on XJ's or not. If so, a simple cleaning usually does the trick with them.

still no luck with this, checked the fuse, the relay (which i guess seems fine), and the bulbs. i unplugged the NSS, cleaned it, and put it back together. anyone ever have this issue before? this is ridiculous...

finally got the chrysler reverse lamp switch, which really is no different than an aftermarket unit, but it did the trick and everything works as its supposed to. i originally purchased a NAPA unit, which worked when it was actuated by hand, but would not make contact inside the transmission. hope this helps people in this predicament down the road...

Where is the switch located?

Where is the switch located?

Manual or automatic?

Switch is located on the trans where the lever is for the shifter

It's a manual, I found it on the drivers side. Should have looked before asking as it was plain as day. The part I picked up from Orielly works fine. I didn't have to get mine from Chrysler thankfully.

Make sure you add a little dielectric grease to the connector so it doesn't short in the rain
