Not today, but over the course of the last month:
new windshield
new exhaust system
installed a stereo system
ran a SeaFoam oil treatment
re-glued the headliner
put a bunch of highway miles on it
to do: new backup lights / transmission switch
some kind of interior lighting
maybe some trail lights
right brake light socket
front left marker light
Of course, the list is never ending!

Nah, I have the manual AX15... put a meter on the switch and it has definitely gone the way of the dodo bird! The lights themselves ohm out as good, and the switch has power coming in, but it just isn't physically working to put that power out to the backup lights themselves. I might have other problems, but I definitely need a new switch to start with. 
My research indicates a new backup light switch is less than $15. I've heard the neutral safety switches are spendy! Which is ridiculous.
