We discourage the elimination of any safety devices or safety switches. Intermittent electrical problems are quite often caused by corrosion on electric connections or loose connections. Clean and tighten any and all connections including grounds and your problem will be likely to go away., Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 8,275 #5 Posted July 8 If you look down along the shift lever, there is a micro that is engaged by the rod when in reverse. The whisker on the switch might need tweaked a bit so the rod trips the switch. I belive one of the relays with the x is what is engaged by the key switch. and those are under the shift plate toward the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
