Hello guys. Newbie here. I found that my reverse lights were acting up. I know they acutually work but not when they are supposed to. When I shift into reverse they don't work right away but if I pull back on the shifter a little bit (towards N) they turn on. They seem to just need a little extra tension to work. Any ideas? NSS perhaps? Not really sure where to start. Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

Sounds like your shift cable just needs a little adjusting

Mr. Clean

Try to adjust the cable first, if that does not work, then you can rebuild the NSS.

Cool. Thanks guys. What is the best way to do that? I apologize for my ignorance. I'm one of those FNG's. Thanks again.

Almost assuredly related to the neutral safety switch.

Follow the procedure in the link I'm providing below. It is a very comprehensive how-to on "refurbishing" the NSS.

Pay special attention to adjustment when you are done. You sometimes need to take a couple of passes at this to get it right.

Good luck!
