I have a 1996 Cherokee Sport, 6 cyl., 4.0 liter, automatic. Right now I have 70,000 miles on it. A few months back I noticed the reverse lights don't come on every time I shift into reverse. I back down a very dark driveway, and at first I could get them to come on by pumping the brakes a few times---it almost seemed like something was loose and would connect when I rocked the vehicle. Lately it seems like the problem is getting worse, I barely ever have the lights.

A friend owns a 1989 Cherokee and had to pay hundreds of dollars at the shop for the same problem--they were told it's a switch at the gearshift. Eeek!! Anyone know of this problem? Thanks!
