That don't even look right. I could not find it on the Service Manual. It should be by the linkage I would think?

on my ram with 5.2/5.9 and 46RE transmission, it on drivers side, tucked in behind the linkage. electrical connector attached.

if yours is working you could unplug it to confirm that backup lights quit and it wont start.

What's the problem? You have an illustration of the neutral safety switch in your post for the 5.2/5.9L... NOT the 4.7. Yours is internal to the transmission. IIRC, it is part of the backup solenoid assembly and costs about $350 for the part, $500 with labor at the dealer.

Here are 5.2/5.9 photos for future reference. Part costs about $15 and takes about 15 minutes to repair as compared to the above 4.7 setup.

Just found this:

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is mounted
to the top of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has six
switch contacts that:
²
Determine shift lever position

²
Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and
Neutral only.

²
Supply ground to the TCM for backup lamp control
in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor

(thermistor) that communicates
