Reverse lights won't work unless,..
 

I pull and hold the shifter on the colum almost to the neutral position.
How do I fix it so I don't have to hold the shifter like that?
At night, I can't see a thing backing down my long driveway. I already
have a fog-lamp hooked up to the rear bumper that lights up nice and bright
but, I sure wish I didn't have to mess with the shifter every time!

replace the neutral-safety switch on the outside of the transmission. drivers side, near the front, behind the linkage. one electrical connector.

yup just be ready to lose some trans fluid have your new one there and ready to slap in

Thanks you guys! It worked!!
Throw it in reverse,.. Everything works as it should plus, my fog-lamp
lights up just fine too. 18 dollars and change for the part at Napa.

ah. another satisfied customer.
