hey
i just found out from a buddy that when im in reverse i dont have reverse lights. i just thought the tint was dark and never noticed it but my brake/parking lights still come on.

i checked both reverse bulbs and they arent blown. how can i fix this problem??

thank you

ps- im new to the WJ. Only had this for about a week

Probably the neutral safety switch. The switch doesn't read it as being in reverse so the lights don't come on. Anyone else agree?

Definitely....I've been through 5 in two years...shoot me. Try cleaning it before you replace it. I'm not sure which kind you have but mine is on the pass. Side of the tranny. When I get home ill send you a link with the walk-through.

Oh yeah and they about 200 a POP for the ones that I had to replace.

hey jeep98, that would be great if you could send the step by step.

is it hard to replace? are there different ones? online they sell them for about $20-50

• Step by step cleaning
• Its fairly easy to replace, the hardest part is prying it off.
• There are a couple different types of NSS but I believe the WJ has the same as mine

Good luck!

have the same problem in my 91 xj. sometimes the lights come on and other times they dont. if i jiggle the shifter they usually turn on. how difficult is it to replace the switch? if its easy i might as well do it

I would try cleaning it before replacing it. Follow the step by step directions I posted

for the life of me i cannot find where my NSS is and still dont know which NSS i need. iv searched the forums for hrs. seems like theres like 3 different kinds of nss
