Reverse Lights in Park

[deadbeat]

1997 Chevy 1500 ccsb, every since I have owned the truck the reverse lights are on in park. No matter how much you wiggle the shifter in reverse they do not come on there. I had a tranny put in a while back and the shop said they replaced the NSS and it didn't change anything and had no suggestions for me. I would really like to have back up lights, got any ideas? I pulled this part http://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-actuator-a-trns-shft-lk-cont-26060737.html and it made no difference.

Forgot to mention it starts fine in park and neutral.

Can anyone confirm on a 1997 that there is a nub on inside the column by the shifter?

Guess I will tear into the steering column just to see if there is something in there that is pressed when the shifter is in reverse. I will let you guys know what I find out since this no one has ever done this before.

Forgot to update to tell the fix. I hate it when people do this so here it is. I checked at the neutral safety switch on the transmission and there was not enough adjustment to make the lights come on in reverse, so I took the loom apart to discover someone had replaced the wiring end and there were two green wires that looked to be the same color. I switched them and everything worked after that. I now even have to press the brake to pull it out of park which wasn't working as well.

Glad to hear you were able to diagnose and fix this problem. From the looks of this thread, no one else has had this same problem.
