reverse lights

Yep, Matt. There is a contact inside the NSS that sends signal to your reverse lights. It's fairly simple to remove and rehab if you're even a little mechanical and they're a little pricy to replace so if you feel like an adventure, get your tools and follow this link... http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoNSSrebuild.htm

As for Matt's issue, given that it won't start in anything but neutral, I think his NSS is in need of some lovin'.

Yep, NSS needs clean. Good write up with pics out here.
The only issue with doing this, is prying the NSS of its shaft. You either good or bad with this, I unfortunately broke of parts of the threads, despite really really carefully prying and pulling. Really carefully.
So, give it a go, have patience and you safe yourself some bucks, have back up lights and start in P and N again

i went to clean mine a few weeks back. i let it soak in pb blaster for a week and it still broke when coming off. i bought a new one on ebay for $45 and its worked perfect. i tried the nut prying trick and everything, but had no luck in pulling it off without breaking. if you don't live in a bad area or wheel alot it should be easier to come off. goodluck

yeah, thats a good how to. another thing i forgot to mentioned. atleast on mine, there are only a few threads on that nut. so dont get too crazy with prying on it. you'll rip those threads real fast.
