95 Grand Caravan back up lights won't work

I've changed the bulbs and checked the fuses, but the back up lights still will not light up when I'm in reverse. Where do I go from here to correct this problem?

The neutral start safety switch controls reverse light function. Here's how to test it. http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/10/ce/14/0900823d8010ce14/repairInfoPages.htm

I've read the switch is less than $20. Could just be a loose or corroded connection. The shift linkage needs to be adjusted correctly for the switch to work correctly. If your van will only start in park or neutral then it's a good bet the linkage is adjusted properly.

We have the same problem, only it appears that our model (98) has the switch for the back-up lights actually ON the transmission. The mechanics who discovered that for us didn't charge us for the 4 hours of work they did trying to figure that out, but they were quite irritated. I called an AAMCO and they said it would run anywhere around $400 just to get at the switch, assuming that's the issue.

My best suggestion if your switch is in the same place-move to Jersey, you don't need back-up lights to pass inspection. :eek:

tsyzer Your fix would cost $400 because your switch is inside the tranny. Assuming you have the 4 speed you have to partially dismantle the tranny to get at it.

Move to Jersey? You've...well, I'll leave it be.
